How to watch Man Utd vs Southampton: TV channel, live stream details and kick-off time

Manchester United host struggling Southampton tonight with both sides looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League. United come into the clash against the league's bottom-placed side fresh off the back of their confidence-boosting FA Cup triumph away to Arsenal. Ruben Amorim's side had to endure a tense penalty shootout to clinch a place in the fourth round after a hard-fought 120 minutes saw the tie locked at 1-1, with United also down to 10 men.
While the Gunners missed a penalty in the 90 minutes, Amorim will have no doubt been happy with how his side stuck in the game and grounded out the win. It's the second game in a row, following the Red Devils' impressive performance away in a 2-2 draw with arch-rivals Liverpool, where United have shown the sort of grit fans have not seen for some time – however, they haven't won in the league since beating Manchester City in mid-December.
The Saints, meanwhile, are yet to win in the Premier League under their new manager Ivan Juric. Defeats to West Ham and Crystal Palace, along with a 5-0 humiliation at home to Brentford, have meant the former Torino and Roma coach has endured a baptism of fire since coming to St Mary's.
However, Southampton did book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup, while claiming Juric's first win, with a 3-0 victory over Swansea City. The last time United and Southampton met in the league was in September, when a routine 3-0 triumph for United was played out in front of now ex-managers Erik ten Hag and Russell Martin.
