Ruben Amorim is expecting to find out more about his Manchester United players against Southampton than he did in games with Liverpool and Arsenal. United produced two of the better performances under their new head coach in recent weeks in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League before beating Arsenal in the FA Cup third round,

"There were no expectations for us in the last two games, nobody believed in us to do a great performance or win a game, but now they are expecting us to win and to play well."

United head coach Ruben Amorim often makes five substitutions and United ended the 120 minutes against Arsenal with Lisandro Martinez up front and midfielder Toby Collyer at right wing back in a 5-3-1 formation.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says his team needs time to "build a different way of playing".

Ruben Amorim believes he will learn more about his Manchester United players from their clash with bottom-of-the-table Southampton than he did from the trips to Liverpool and Arsenal. New head coach Amorim wants to see how his team play with the pressure of being expected to win against Saints,
