Emirates FA Cup: Manchester United are seeking a first Premier League win since the derby triumph away to Manchester City on December 15. However, the year has started with excellent performances away to leaders Liverpool, in a 2-2 draw, and Arsenal, when knocking the Gunners out of the Emirates FA Cup.
Their next test will see them host Southampton at Old Trafford on Friday (IST) The Saints are deep in the relegation mire, currently sitting bottom of the table and eight points adrift of 19th-placed Leicester City. Ruben Amorim has stated that the game against relegation-threatened Southampton will teach him more about his players than their last two impressive outings.
“This next game will teach me more about my players than the last two. There was no expectation in the last two games. Against Arsenal, we waited for the opportunity. In the future, we can’t play like that and I know that. Fans will expect more tomorrow. We have to deliver,” said Amorim in a press conference.
