Southamptonvs.Man Utd

The Red Devils opened their 2024-25 season with a 1-0 success over Fulham at Old Trafford, but they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion in their second match of the campaign before going down 3-0 at home to Liverpool before the international break.

The 20-time English champions are currently down in 14th spot in the Premier League table, and there will be pressure on head coach Erik ten Hag to deliver a positive result this weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Southampton, who have lost all three of their league games this term.

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Southampton)
