Southampton boss Ronald Koeman wants an unhappy homecoming for Morgan Schneiderlin
Or will Koeman inflict defeat on Van Gaal? Manchester United will be looking to bounce back following their shock midweek 2-1 defeat to PSV in the first match of the Champions League group stage.
Manchester United scored with all three of their shots on target against Liverpool.
Fonte has established himself as one of the better centre-backs in the division since Southampton got promoted and Martial has shown some very bright moments in a Red shirt so far in his one-and-a-bit games.
The slight concern for Koeman will be that the fixture list handed Southampton a relatively easy start; with clashes against Swansea, Chelsea, Leicester and Liverpool to follow after the visit of United on Sunday, Southampton will need to step up a level if they are to keep in touch with the top eight in the coming weeks.
Koeman, however, remains without the injured Fraser Forster, Ryan Bertrand, Jordy Clasie and Florin Gardos. In their last Premier League game the Red Devils had, at least occasionally, played some decent football.
“It didn’t look like Manny Pacquiao was 100% ready for the fight with Mayweather and we all know how good Ricky Hatton was and he dispatched him incredibly – so those are two standout Mayweather performances for me”.
Meanwhile, Morgan Schneiderlin should face up against his former club for the first time, having been dropped to the subs bench for the last two United matches.
Manchester United have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last seven league games against the Saints. It was a lot of years that we spent together. We will be in contact before for sure.

Koeman’s decision to use Davis as a deep-lying holding midfield position may be the cause to some of the problems and turning to Romeu could relinquish some of the pressure on Wanyama’s shoulders, helping him become more of a force going forward like he was at times last season. You can see that Manchester United’s midfield now is much more aggressive.
Smith’s three boxing brothers were also lending their support to 27-year-old sibling Liam ahead of his title hunt, with Rooney confident he will be the first of the famous four to claim world glory.
Moreover, the early readings from the opening five games of the season would also suggest their has been a significant decline in their physical approach to matches.
“I approach all matches in the same way, in the same procedure and with the same amount of meetings”.
Smalling has enjoyed a terrific start to the season, arguably becoming United’s most indispensable player.
