In addition, Southampton is eager to take revenge for an insulting defeat in the League Cup final.
Manchester United have already lost all motivation in the championship (well, do not consider the same as the 5th place?). Before the mankunians now only 1 way to the Champions League - victory in the European League on May 24. Therefore, we can say that the main goal of Jose Mourinho in this match will give rest to his players, and the non-receipt of injuries - almost more important than the result on the scoreboard.
Did not even go with the team on the game David De Gea - it is possible that the Spaniard has already played his last match for United. Jose Mourinho admitted that until the end of the championship (in 2 games) at the gate will play Sergio Romero and Joel Pereira.
