Man United injury, suspension news vs. Southampton: What is impact of Arsenal heroics?

Manchester United return to action on Thursday night when they play host to Southampton in the Premier League.

Ruben Amorim's side have been much improved during the last two games, most recently pulling off an heroic penalty-shootout win over Arsenal in the FA Cup third round having played almost an hour with 10 men.

However, it remains to be seen whether there will be a knock-on effect for this contest as they bid to move closer to the top half of the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of squaring off against the division's bottom-placed side at the Theatre of Dreams.
