Having won just one league game in last four outings, Manchester United will want to win the Saturday game when they travel to Southampton, if they are still harbouring their ambition of winning the title.
Both the sides simply can’t afford to slip any point. While United aspire of being in top 4 before January transfer window, Southampton would be eager to gain points to keep them away from relegation window.
Who’ll get a vital win? Who will hold his nerves till the very end? Will it be Mark Hughes or José Mourinho who is always at his wit’s end. A loss could signify a threat to both of their’s tenure at respective clubs.
