Jose Mourinho will face the Old Trafford crowd for the first time

Manchester United host Southampton tonight in the first Friday Night Football of the season; kick-off 20:00pm (BST).

Jose Mourinho started life as the United manager with a 3-1 win away at Bournemouth.

On the other hand, new Saints boss Claude Puel earned a point in his first game following a 1-1 home draw with Watford.

Team news

Southampton’s club captain Jose Fonte, who has been linked with a shock move to the Red Devils, is in line to start for the visitors.

However, left-back Ryan Bertrand will again miss out through injury so Matt Targett is also set to play.

The home side welcome back Chris Smalling after he served a suspension.

But by far and away the biggest team news is the fact that Paul Pogba is preparing to make his second Manchester United debut.

Whether he starts or he comes off the bench remains to be seen, but Mourinho has confirmed that he will ‘play some part’.
