Two sides looking to push on from confidence-building wins in the FA Cup meet at Old Trafford on Thursday as Man United host Southampton in the English Premier League. United boss Ruben Amorim will have been delighted by his side's resilience after edging past Arsenal on penalties on Sunday,

I have a lot of admiration for Manchester United's performance in their FA Cup win against Arsenal, especially to grind it out with 10 men for an hour after Diogo Dalot was sent off. I do not want to devalue what United did against Arsenal or Liverpool but they were games where the expectation was not on them to get results.
