Manchester United news: Adnan Januzaj in and Marouane Fellaini out? Predicted XI for Southampton Premier League clash

Manchester United claimed three vital points with a win over Liverpool last weekend and will look to that for some much needed momentum.

The Red Devils may have turned a corner in 2016 as they are undefeated the new year, with Wayne Rooney scoring four goals in three Premier League games.

Southampton are the visitors on Saturday with United desperate to improve in order to be successful with their Champions League push.

Fresh reports emerged this week suggesting manager Louis van Gaal could leave in the summer but, as always, the Dutchman remains defiant with United in fifth, only two points off Tottenham in fourth.

However, it is not all rosy with news that Ashley Young requires major groin surgery and could be out for the rest of the season.

This means another defensive reshuffled and the England international joins long-term absentees Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo.

Bastian Schweinsteiger, Phil Jones and Michael Carrick are all yet to fully recover but Adnan Januzaj should be back in contention after scoring twice for the under-21 side in midweek.

There is also the question of what to do with Marouane Fellaini? The Belgian has been poor in acting as cover for Schweinsteiger and Carrick, and Van Gaal may have finally lost patience with him.
