Manchester United will take on Southampton at Saint Mary’s on Saturday, with the match kicking off at 12:30 PM (UK time).
Manchester United have had a disappointing start to the season, managing just one win on the opening day against Fulham at Old Trafford. Since then, the Red Devils have faced consecutive defeats: a loss to Brighton at the Amex Stadium and a 3-0 defeat to their fierce rivals, Liverpool, at Old Trafford.
During the international break, United’s boss Erik ten Hag has likely been considering how to turn things around. Saturday’s match against newly promoted Southampton presents a crucial opportunity for him to start improving results.
The clash with Southampton could be a turning point for Ten Hag. With challenging fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa on the horizon, the game against Southampton seems like a more favorable match-up for United to regain momentum.
Ten Hag needs to deliver more convincing performances and results if he wants to reduce the pressure on his position as United’s manager. Meanwhile, Southampton’s manager, Russell Martin, is also feeling the heat due to his team’s poor start to the season. Southampton has lost all three of their opening games, leaving them 19th in the league with a minus-four goal difference.
For Manchester United, facing a struggling Southampton side after the international break might be the perfect chance to secure three points and use it as a platform to build better form. Fans are eager to see the team turn things around and put in more dominant performances in matches they are expected to win.
Ten Hag will be hoping that Saturday’s clash at Saint Mary’s marks the beginning of a positive run for his Red Devils.
