We are hoping to see Manchester United return to winning ways today and Ralf Rangnick has named his starting eleven to face Southampton.
The Reds are without a win in either of their last two matches – against Middlesbrough and Burnley – and know that three points will be crucial in their bid for a top-four finish.
It comes as no surprise that De Gea starts in goal.
Diogo Dalot is becoming a mainstay at right-back and the game comes too soon for Alex Telles, who is in the team after recovering from COVID-19. That means Luke Shaw starts.
Raphael Varane will lead from the back alongside Harry Maguire.
In midfield, United have a trio of Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
And Cristiano Ronaldo is joined by Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho in attack.
Confirmed Manchester United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes; Rashford, Sancho, Ronaldo.
it is OK but Ronaldo out for Cavani for the team to be really contender
