At 4 a.m. on January 17, Beijing time, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Southampton.

Manchester United vs Southampton, the highlights of the match are as follows:

First:Situation of both teams！ After 20 rounds of Premier League matches, Manchester United ranked 15th with 6 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses with 23 points, and Southampton ranked at the bottom with 1 win, 3 draws and 16 losses with 6 points. In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United drew 2-2 away with Liverpool, stopping a four-game losing streak in all competitions, and then eliminated Arsenal in a penalty shootout in the FA Cup; Southampton suffered a 5-0 defeat at home to Brentford, and it is difficult to find a win in the last 10 league games, with 2 draws and 8 defeats, and then beat Swansea 3-0 at home in the FA Cup to advance.

Second:The Red Devils are unbeaten in the New Year, and if they meet the vice-president at home, then take three points！ Manchester United drew with leaders Liverpool in the 2025 league and eliminated Arsenal in the cup, with a good record. In this round of the Premier League, Manchester United met the vice-president at home, and there is no reason not to take all three points. In addition, Southampton's form is really sluggish, especially the back line is full of holes. This is a good opportunity for Manchester United's attackers to gain confidence, and the new boss Amorim will certainly not give up such a good opportunity to pick up points, and Manchester United will be united in a big win at home to the Saints, not only to chase points, end the embarrassment of a four-game unbeaten run in the league, but also to boost morale.
