Manchester United could welcome Alex Telles back for Saturday lunchtime’s match with Southampton.

The Brazil international is back in contention after recovering from Covid-19, but midfielder Fred is still isolating.

Redmond suffered an ankle injury in training ahead of Wednesday’s 3-2 comeback victory at Tottenham.

Manchester United provisional squad: De Gea, Henderson, Heaton, Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Varane, Shaw, Telles, McTominay, Mejbri, Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Lingard, Mata, Sancho, Elanga, Rashford, Cavani, Ronaldo.
