Yes I go with that OP, with your Proviso about Varane being ready. Looks a good team on paper doesn't it?

That’s how we ended the Leeds game.
Don't think Varane will come in yet.
We'll probably see one change from last week which is Sancho in for James.
Might be too early for Varane, however, now might just be a good time to start getting him up to speed, since we don't play any top 4/6 teams til mid October, and it'd be nice to have him in proper by then.
I think the OPs lineup is very possible, a lot depends on how well Varane and Maguire are linking up in training. Don't think there's any issues with fitness as he was training for Real before he moved to us. While Rashford is out I think it makes sense to continue playing Pogba there and he was excellent last week so no need to change things, unless we have something specific in mind to combat Saints' system?

While I’d never take a game for granted this is an average Southampton side that last a few good players in the summer.
Apart from the first 8 or 9 games last season where I think they were top for a brief period they had a very poor season last season.
In saying that you’d imagine their team and fans will be well up for it. United in town for their first day back with a capacity crowd. Doesn’t get any bigger than that for some.
I meant in general, not specifically the Saints game.

As much as I like the look of it, we leave ourselves looking light on quality from the bench by cramming in all of our best attacking players to the starting 11.
I'd also be slightly surprised if Ole dropped Lindelof so soon. He had a pretty good game against Leeds & Varane hasn't trained much.
My best guess is it'll be the same team as last weekend but with Sancho for James.
We'll probably see a lot of Fred and McTominay at least until Rashford returns, at which point Ole's going to have a decision to make about Pogba and the midfield.
