Preview: Southampton vs Man Utd

Manchester United have lost two games in a row before kick-off on Saturday afternoon.

So what better opportunity to get back on track than a game against a team that suffered three consecutive defeats to start the Premier League season?

United lost 3-0 to Liverpool before the international break, following a late defeat at Brighton the week before.

The pressure on Erik ten Hag appears to be increasing again as his reputation rapidly fades following last season's FA Cup triumph.

He cannot afford to lose to a Saints team that quickly realises the task ahead after being promoted.

At least they did score a goal last time out, albeit a 95th-minute consolation goal at Brentford. They had failed to score in their first two games, despite playing with ten men for most of the game against Newcastle and then at home to Nottingham Forest.

And in Ben Brereton Diaz, they have a striker in their ranks who has the longest winless streak in the Premier League (17 games), which does not bode well for them.

Will the Southampton vs Man Utd game be broadcast on TV and can it be streamed?

• Southampton vs Man Utd will be broadcast LIVE on TNT Sports 1.
• Discovery+ subscription members can stream all the action on the official website or app.
• Alternatively, SunSport offers minute-by-minute coverage of the entire game.

Team News: Southampton vs Man Utd

Manuel Ugarte signed too late to even play in the last game against Liverpool and is likely to play in some capacity here after playing for Uruguay during the break.

Casemiro's place seems to have been secured after he was substituted at half-time in the Liverpool defeat, but it remains to be seen what the Brazilian's future at Old Trafford holds.

Rasmus Hojlund and Victor Lindelof have returned to first-team training during the break and are expected to be in the squad. However, Mason Mount, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw are expected to be absent.

Betting tips and predictions for Southampton vs Man Utd

It's nacho time

Alejandro Garnacho's season so far has been marked by interruptions, he has missed open goals and important goals have been disallowed by the video referee.

The loss to Liverpool was his first start of the season and given the form of his attacking players so far, it is easy to identify him as the most dangerous man in United's ranks.

We will get started sooner rather than later – in this case, we hope, sooner!

• Alejandro Garnacho finishes first at 6/1 at William Hill – CLAIM HERE

Wood, he, he would not

Former Manchester City Academy star Taylor Harwood-Bellis will enjoy facing United here.

The tall defender also played one and a half games for the England U21 national team during the break.

He has received a yellow card in two of three Premier League games and could face Garnacho here in what promises to be a tough afternoon.

• Taylor Harwood-Bellis is carded 17/4 at William Hill – CLAIM HERE
