Fantasy United: Select your side for Southampton!
Manchester United are back in action after the September international break this weekend, with a Premier League trip to Southampton.
Erik ten Hag’s Reds will be looking to get back to winning ways in Saturday’s 12:30 BST kick-off on the south coast, following defeats to Brighton and Liverpool before the current hiatus.
Our visit to St Mary’s Stadium will also be your next chance to play our new fantasy football game, Fantasy United, in which you score points based on the real-life actions of your selected squad.
How to play Fantasy United
ArticleHere’s your guide to our exciting new fantasy football game, in which your favourite Reds can propel you to glory.
But, if you are yet to get involved, it’s not too late to do so! In fact, it’s a great time to start your journey, with our Carabao Cup and UEFA Europa League campaigns also set to begin this month, meaning there’s plenty of matches to come and, with them, opportunities for you to make up ground on your opponents at a rapid rate.
Once you’ve opened your first Player Trading Cards pack – featuring digital collectibles of each member from Ten Hag’s squad – you will have enough options to choose your first five-man line-up.
Picking a team name and saving your side will automatically enter you into the global rankings alongside fellow United fans, while you can also join mini-leagues with friends and go up against Reds heroes of the past in our Legends league.
Your squad must be selected up to 90 minutes before kick-off to score points in that match, so this weekend’s deadline is 11:00 BST on Saturday morning.
UNITED’S TOP SCORERS SO FAR
