Manchester United Vs. Southampton Match Prediction
Manchester united played a great football though failed to capitalize the chances created against Arsenal, with Cavani struggling to put it behind the net and also Rashford lacked the idea to just tap cross from the flanks only to wobble in the box.
We expect United to dominate this play and will be warded with decent chances.
