Arsenal legend Paul Merson has backed Southampton to draw their upcoming Premier League clash with Manchester United.

The Red Devils will travel to St. Mary's Stadium on Sunday and Merson predicts that Louis van Gaal's men may not have enough quality to overcome Ronald Koeman's Saints.

Merson wrote for Sky Sports: "Southampton haven't really got going. They were unlucky at West Brom, but they are getting better.

"Man United keep winning, but I just don't see them doing it here. They lost at PSV, and Luke Shaw is a massive miss. I don't know what it is about United, they have some good players but it is just isn't clicking.

"Southampton brushed aside Norwich and improved against West Brom. They are getting players back and starting to get a bit of confidence. Southampton have to score first if they are going to get anything from this."
