Manchester United vs. Southampton FC
The Premier League in England has outshone European football for years. With a host of top-class exceptional players, they have also dominated European competitions such as the Champions League in recent years. Therefore, they have the most spectators and also the most attractive football. Any football fan who does not regularly follow the Premier League is advised to do so promptly. Even promoted teams have a brutally strong squad with which they would fight for the European places in Germany.
One of these very interesting games worth watching is, for example, the match between Manchester United and Southampton. Ralf Rangnick’s Red Devils are currently in a bit of a slump, which is causing them to drop important points. In contrast, Southampton are currently in better form than is usual for them. Therefore, this duel promises to be an exciting showdown between the two German-speaking coaches Rangnick and Hasenhüttl.

Man United Form & Balance Check
The Red Devils’ recent games have not quite lived up to their own standards. They have only managed to pick up two wins from their past five league encounters. On top of that, they have been eliminated in the FA Cup. These are very difficult days for every Man United supporter. Especially the most recent encounter in the league hurt. In the away game against relegation candidates Burnley, they could not get beyond a 1-1 draw. The determination in attack and the resolve in defence are missing at the moment. They need to pick up three points in their upcoming clash with Southampton to stay in contention for the Champions League places.
Incredible goal drought for Ronaldo
This headline is obviously not meant very seriously. But there are many reports in the media these days that CR7 is currently in one of his worst form lows of his career. The truth: He hasn’t scored a goal in five games. While this is the first time since 2010 that something like this has happened to the Portuguese, it is far from the end of the world, let alone a sign of the superstar’s lack of quality. A typical reaction of the world footballer would be if he scores several times again in the coming games.
Man United Facts & Analysis
– Currently fifth place
– Only two wins from the last five games
– Four games without defeat

Southampton form & balance check
Southampton FC’s last game will probably be remembered by many fans. It was a spectacular 3:2 victory in the end in London. After going behind early, it didn’t take long for Broja to equalise 1:1. After that, it remained quiet for a long time until Son put the home team back in front in the 70th minute. Then they came, the magic two minutes of the Saints. They struck twice in the 80th and 82nd, pulling the game on their side in no time.
However, there was still a bit of a shock moment when Bergwijn equalised for Tottenham in the 93rd minute. However, this was then bagged again by VAR. So the Saints took three points from London after a strong performance. The next big challenge is Manchester United
Manchester – Fright
Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Saints have played very well recently. Especially when it came against notable opponents. For example, they took a point from Man City and more recently they beat Tottenham at home. They also picked up a point in each of the first legs against both Manchester clubs. So Southampton can proudly claim not to have lost against Manchester yet this season.
Southampton facts & analysis
– Currently 10th place
– Recent away win against Tottenham
– Not lost to any Manchester club this season (3U)
Predicted line-up – last update on 10 Feb 2022
For Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo will probably return to the first eleven. He only started on the bench in the duel against Burnley. Otherwise, there will probably be no major changes. Wan-Bissaka is a possible alternative to Dalot. Due to Southampton’s recent success at Tottenham, there won’t be much change in their starting eleven either
