“I have suspended two of my defender who has openly told me they are scared of him… unfortunately none of my players has agreed to handle him yet, I’m finished”: Southampton manager names ONE Man United player who everyone at the Club doesn’t want face as he has suspended TWO players for the offense
Manchester United travel to Southampton on Saturday lunchtime – and the Saints boss has sent his winless squad a damning message pre-match.
Newly promoted Saints are yet to win following their promotion from the Championship and following the international break, they host United at St Mary’s. Ahead of the game, boss Russell Martin has warned changes were “inevitable”.
Martin said: “It’s such a difficult position because I feel fiercely loyal to the same players who helped us to get to the Premier League and I’ve been in that position. I have to balance that loyalty and what they did last season with what some are actually doing now and the place they’re in right now.
“Also, with the level of talent that’s come into the building, they need a bit of time to adapt, but we’ve brought in some really brilliant players. It’s about trying to get that right for them to come into the team.
“I think now it’s inevitable that changes will be made and people will have opportunities that they need to take.”
