Manchester United Face Saints Test, Reds At Magpies

[Folami David]

Manchester United will look to get their league title defence airborne at home to high-flying Southampton on Saturday, as the Premier League resumes following the international break.
.
United's England players will return to club duty with a spring in their step after the national team secured qualification for next year's World Cup, but Old Trafford has not been a happy place in recent weeks.
.
With only two wins in their last six games, David Moyes's side trail early leaders Arsenal by six points and in Southampton they face a team who have climbed to fourth place following a run of three straight victories.
.
The shadow of former manager Alex Ferguson continues to loom over the club but he has urged fans to show patience.
.
Speaking at an event to unveil a road near Old Trafford that has been renamed in his honour earlier this week, Ferguson said: "It's a great, great football club. You, the supporters, have enjoyed it.
.
"And I still think that a lot of our young fans don't remember that there were bad days. Dealing with bad days is what we're good at. This club will always go on."
.
A brace from teenage winger Adnan Januzaj gave United a 2-1 win at Sunderland in their last outing but Southampton are likely to present formidable opposition, having gone four games without conceding a goal.

I'll love to see Januzaj play again! He plays really well ...
