Manchester United will be without right-back Diogo Dalot for their Premier League clash against Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

The Portuguese defender was sent off during the FA Cup tie against Arsenal, ruling him out of the upcoming league fixture. Dalot's absence is a significant blow for manager Rúben Amorim, who will now have to reshuffle his defence.

A key player

Dalot has been a revelation for Manchester United since joining the club from Porto. His pace, attacking prowess, and defensive solidity have made him a key player in Amorim's side. His ability to provide width and overlap down the right flank has been a crucial part of United's attacking play.

The impact of Dalot's absence

Without Dalot, Amorim will have to decide who will replace him at right-back. Malacia is the most obvious candidate, but his attacking abilities are not as developed as Dalot's.

Regardless of who starts in Dalot's place, his absence will undoubtedly weaken Manchester United's team. Dalot's attacking threat and defensive stability will be missed against a Southampton side that will be looking to cause an upset.

A challenging fixture

Southampton have been in decent form in recent weeks and will be looking to build on their recent positive results. They will be eager to capitalise on Manchester United's weakened defence and secure a valuable victory at Old Trafford.

Amorim's team selection

With Dalot unavailable, Amorim will have to make some tough decisions regarding his team selection. In addition to the right-back position, the manager will also need to consider whether to make any changes to his midfield or attack.

What next for Manchester United?

Manchester United will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing FA Cup exit and get their Premier League campaign back on track. However, the absence of Diogo Dalot will make it more difficult for them to achieve their objectives.
