Facundo Pellistri starts as Manchester United pick their starting line-up for Southampton

Manchester United supporters have backed Facundo Pellistri to make a full debut this afternoon when the Reds host Southampton at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag's side bounced back from last Sunday's dismal defeat at Liverpool with a commanding 4-1 win over Real Betis in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring inside six minutes before a second-half blitz saw goals from Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst.

United boss Ten Hag went with an unchanged side for the midweek game, allowing those who started at Anfield a chance for redemption, but with just two full days to rest and prepare for the visit of Southampton, the Dutchman is faced with a decision on whether to rotate. LIVE: United vs Southampton build-up, team news and commentary One of the most pleasing moments on Thursday was the instant impact of Pellistri, who within seconds of coming on burst past a leggy Betis defence, his cross eventually falling to Scott McTominay whose shot rebounded for Weghorst to score.
