Southampton team to play Man Utd

Manchester United make four changes to the side that lost at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend for tonight’s trip to Southampton.

Goalkeeper Sergio Romero makes a rare Premier League start, while Matteo Darmian, Marouane Fellaini and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also come in to the team.

They replace David De Gea, Daley Blind, Michael Carrick and Jesse Lingard.

There is no place in the squad at all for De Gea, with youngster Joel Pereira on the bench.

With a top-four finish beyond his side, Jose Mourinho has spoken of the need to rest players in preparation for the Europa League final a week tonight. He had name-checked Blind as a player who would be rested after a run in the team.

Starting XI: Romero, Bailly, Smalling, Jones, Darmian, Fellaini, Tuanzebe, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Rooney, Martial
