4-2-3-1: Man United’s new manager set to name a dangerous starting XI vs Southampton as Rashford is benched, Casemiro told to leave and Ugarte handed a debut
This weekend, Manchester United will be desperate to recover from consecutive defeats and pick up all three points against Southampton.
Losing 3-0 to Liverpool at Old Trafford before the international break was a deflating defeat considering how excited fans were for this season coming into the campaign.
This result followed the 2-1 defeat to Brighton which leaves Manchester United now sitting 14th in the table with a goal difference of -3 already.
Cristiano Ronaldo has also been speaking about the problems at United, stating Erik ten Hag needs to listen to Ruud van Nistelrooy – Ten Hag has dismissed the criticisms, entitling Ronaldo to his opinions.
But now heading into game week four, nothing but a win will suffice as United look to recover and begin re-establishing Champions League qualification ambitions.
So here is how we think Erik ten Hag’s line-up will look to do that against Southampton.
How Manchester United could line-up against Southampton
The international break is over and so now the Premier League returns and for Ten Hag it comes with positive team news.
Having such bad injury luck over the past year, the United manager will be delighted to not have any new concerns, and also that Manuel Ugarte is available for selection.
Ten Hag confirmed Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund are both still out, with Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia also still out. Here is how we predict United to line up against Southampton.
