Match Preview- Southampton vs Manchester United

At long, long, last we’ve finally reached the end.

Manchester United have had an eventful week with the sacking of David Moyes, the appointment of Ryan Giggs as the interim manager with Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville all being named as his coaching team.

MATCH PREVIEW: Manchester United v Manchester City

MATCH PREVIEW: West Ham United v Manchester United

There’s no rest for the wicked and so, just three days after producing the sort of performance we had been demanding since August, United turn their attention back to the Premier League, desperately hoping to build on Wednesday’s positives to arrive to Tuesday’s night derby in slightly more buoyant mood than they’ve been all season.
