The pressure is already mounting on Erik ten Hag, who is ready to make a few changes.
Manchester United are set to make their debut for Manuel Ugarte when they take on Southampton on Saturday, rejoining the Red Devils for the first time since their 3-0 home loss the start of the season.
With United heading south after a three-game pointless run, Joshua Zirkzee looks set to play alongside Amed up front.Manchester United didn’t have much bite in attack in Ten Hag’s last game and are ready to change their attacking options.
Casemiro is set to drop out of the starting XI after an error-filled display in the defeat to Liverpool.He was adjudged to be at fault for two of the three goals, and Ugarte, as expected, will arrive immediately after his deadline day postponement from PSG.
They were sent to Liverpool for 3 games but were given the opportunity to continue to develop as a duo.
Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui are expected to complete the back four ahead of Andre Onana.Ten Hag himself says he doesn’t care about the rumor, as there are constant questions about him and his future.
“As I said before, we are still in transition. We need to integrate many young players in the team.That will be us in May next year.It’s very early in the season and it’s all about finishing. Come May we will do everything we can to get as high as possible in the league and win trophies”he said.
Ten Hag won on their previous trip to St Mary’s, an early fixture at Old Trafford.Bruno Fernandes scored the winner and the Portuguese star is expected to once again play a central role on the south coast.
