Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Southampton

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Southampton on August 22.

Manchester United will be looking to make it back-to-back wins at the start of the new Premier League season when they head to Southampton on August 22.

The Red Devils recorded a 5-1 victory over Leeds United in their league opener on Saturday, with Bruno Fernandes scoring three times in a five-star performance.
