"Southampton" coach Ronald Koeman is eagerly awaiting today's Premier league match against Manchester United and insists that he doesn't care who will be playing as the main striker for the opponents.
"Red Devils" captain Wayne Rooney missed the last two matches due to injury, and midfielder Marouane Fellaini replaced him in the number nine position against Liverpool. However, Fellaini had to sit out almost the entire UEFA Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven due to illness and was replaced by the young Anthony Martial.
England's record-breaker Rooney should be back on the pitch soon, but it is still unknown whether he will start the match from the first minutes.
Manchester United is always a team trying to play football from their own half of the field. They usually have long possession of the ball," Koeman told the official Southampton website.
"Of course, a lot will depend on whether Rooney or Fellaini will play in the striker position, but Manchester United will still try to control the game and dominate."
"On the other hand, we have our own style of play. They will play differently depending on whether Rooney or Fellaini is up front, but it doesn't matter to our team."
"We know what we have to do to beat them, and in order to secure three points at home, we will have to demonstrate quality football."
"We have to have confidence in ourselves. Otherwise, it is impossible to win. On Sunday, we must show our mastery and belief in a good result."
"Last season, Southampton and Manchester United shared a win in the Premier League."
