Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is confident former club Southampton will enjoy another successful season.

Schneiderlin is preparing for today's return to his dormer club.

"There aren't as many challenges as there were last season. They bought so many players and for them to gel takes a bit of time. They didn't have the best start to the season – not as good as last year – but they are a good team. They wanted to progress in Europe, they couldn't do it, but maybe that's a good thing for them to just focus on the league.

"We already know that it's going to be a tough game. They have very, very good players. We need to be at 100 per cent to win the game."
