Two Premier League matches kick off at 2pm BST today – Southampton v Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes from the team that comfortably beat Leeds United in Gameweek 1, as Nemanja Matic (£4.5m) and Anthony Martial (£7.9m) replace Scott McTominay (£5.5m) and Daniel James (£6.0m) in the starting XI.

New signings Raphael Varane (£5.5m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.4m) are both named on the bench.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton will be looking to bounce back from their opening-day loss at Everton, though they are without a win in 10 home league matches against The Red Devils.

New signing Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) leads the line, while £4.0m defender Tino Livramento gets another start at right-back ahead of Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m), who again has to settle for a place on the bench.

At Tottenham Hotspur, Nuno names an unchanged starting XI with Harry Kane (£12.4m) on the bench. That means another out-of-position start for Son Heung-min (£10.0m).

Of all the current Premier League sides that the South Korean international has played against, Wolves are the only team he hasn’t scored against. Could that be about to change?

Meanwhile, Bruno Lage takes charge of his first Wolves home game and makes just one change to his starting XI, with Nelson Semedo (£5.0m) replacing Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.0m).

  13. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

  14. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I bet the Spurs fans don't know how to react to this substitution

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Utd should try Varane & Lindelof - get Maguire out of the side

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hardly his fault, AWB that time

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      AWB is so bad with the ball at his feet.

    3. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      who is a better option for Gundo?

      Pogba or Greenwood?

      Using my second free for Toney to Armstrong i think?

    4. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maguire 😆

    5. Eat my goal!

    6. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Utd's defence has been shocking today.

    7. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son of a pitch

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He wasn't ever going to score anyway

    8. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son fail, at least if he hauls next week a lot less people will have brought him

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Told you he would

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          You were right, try being a bit more humble about it in future instead of shouting ‘I told you so’ to Everyone

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Maybe listen

    9. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maguire is so overrated it’s unreal. He’d be good in a side that camps their box but he doesn’t suit United at all.

      Shocking on the ball and can’t defend on the half turn

      1. Dannyb
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He turns like an articulated lorry.

      2. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Varane's going to have some chronic back pain from carrying him.

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I hear that Virgil guy is pretty rubbish too

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Nooo you can't say that, only United players are bad!!

    10. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pep in the mud

    11. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Varane replaces Maguire at the back, and pairs up with Lindelöf, right?

      1. Dannyb
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You'd think so after today's shambles.

    12. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son off??? Are you kidding me Nuno.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hmmmm

      2. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Rested for a big score next week

      3. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He doesn't want to embarass his old team, 1-0 is enough.

    13. as33
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son keep or selling?

    14. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry for the jammy brag but I have Bissouma's 8 pointer coming in for White. I am a casual that was unaware about White's unavailability.

    15. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son wagon derailed

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Got him for next 2, knew he wouldn't score today, never does v Wolves

    16. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw or Digne the first to go?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Still say Digne

      2. Dannyb
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Digne
