Manchester United

Erik ten Hag will be hoping to secure his second Premier League win when his Manchester United side travel to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.

Man United are looking to find space in behind the Southampton defence but the hosts have coped well so far. Southampton are clearly looking to cause problems with balls into the box. In-form Che Adams has his first shot on goal with a header that loops over the bar. Then it's Adams who wriggles away from the defence and fires an effort straight at De Gea. 36’ Southampton 0-0 Manchester United 40’ Southampton 0-0 Manchester United A series of superb blocks by the Southampton defenders kept Fernandes, Eriksen and Elanga out before Bella-Kotchap missed the target with the host's best chance. 42’ Southampton 0-0 Manchester United It's Bella-Kotchap who makes a huge challenge to deny Elanga as he latched onto a one-two in the box.

Man United play Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday and we'll bring you live updates from the fixture.

"We are really happy [Casemiro], it was really one of our priorities we constructed the squad, that we wanted to add a player in his position. We have a lot of games and a lot of players will come on, we have a good level of players and good competition. United are attacking the away-dayers in the first-half. With needlessly loud and generic music and ‘Oh When the Saints’, it is not half as atmospheric as Monday night and that is part of the challenge for United. We made a really good performance [against Liverpool], but also I want to credit the contribution of the substitutes that came on. United looked promising with that fluidity post-restart in 2020 with Rashford, Martial and Greenwood but the experiment ended early at the start of the 2020-21 season with Martial out of the picture through suspension and Cavani brought in. That was a beautiful cross-field ball from Eriksen to switch the play. He should not be having to intervene - that is the ‘keeper’s territory. United are playing it out from the back today. United are at their most authoritative with Eriksen on the ball. It would be particularly galling if United were to concede first after that goalmouth scramble and they have had some edgy moments in their own area, despite the bullish high-five exchanges after the ball goes dead. This has been a pretty unconvincing start from United, who haven’t yet taken a grip of the game.

"During the window months, meetings concluded including a proposal from Ajax for contract renewal. I need this to continue performing at a high level.

Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo are on the bench, as the starting eleven remains unchanged for Manchester United's meeting with Southampton.

Marcus Rashford will thus spearhead the Manchester United attack against Southampton, with Jadon Sancho and Anthony Elanga being the two wide men, leaving Ronaldo as a possible substitute. The midfield unit surprisingly does not see a change, with Casemiro on the bench. David de Gea retains his spot between the sticks, with Tom Heaton being the backup option on the bench.

Manchester United have three points to show after as many games in the Premier League and it has been far from smooth sailing for new manager Erik ten Hag.

“Antony is becoming restless at the two clubs’ failure to agree a fee for him. There are doubts whether United will go past the €100 million threshold but another increased bid is likely.

MANCHESTER UNITED are refusing to give up on Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong, with the transfer saga flatly refusing to end.

I see him more as an inside player although he can adapt to the pivot position. But it appears he’s still likelier to stay at the Nou Camp instead of moving to Old Trafford.

Ferdinand backed new United boss Erik ten Hag to build a team that 'suits his character' and stated that they will have to go 'above and beyond' if they are to land the Brazilian star.

Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga and Marcus Rashford start in attack and that's the front three which looked dangerous on the counter-attack against Liverpool.

Manchester United earned the first away victory of the season by defeating Southampton 1-0 in the Premier League's early Saturday game.

Back to Back wins… Prior to the match, the Saints had rescued four points from losing positions in their previous two outings and were looking to repeat a turnaround. Armstrong 63), A. United stormed out of the blocks after the interval, heaping early pressure on the home side and were rewarded 10 minutes following the restart. However, the best opportunity fell to Armel Bella-Kotchap. A Diogo Dalot cross caused mayhem in the penalty area as the Southampton keeper Gavin Bazunu and his defence somehow frantically denied Bruno Fernandes the chance to head home, before thwarting Anthony Elanga, Fernandes again and then Christian Eriksen – all from around the six-yard box.

Dalot’s pinpoint assist proved to be match-winning for United at a key point of the game. Perhaps most impressively of all, he audibly dictated when his teammates needed to tighten up through the centre. United’s new signing only entered the pitch with 10 minutes to go, and he was absolutely everywhere! Saints couldn’t deal with the sheer numbers in the box as Fernandes was left wide open on the edge for his magic moment. The Portuguese right-back stayed composed, recovered possession and offered a physical presence throughout. The 23-year-old’s crunching tackle down the wing gave him an early boost of confidence and he never looked back. Another Elanga run inside set the goal in motion by freeing up space for Dalot, Sancho and Bruno in one fell swoop. Bruno’s ability to link passing moves together brought the likes of Sancho and Marcus Rashford into the game when they would have otherwise been completely isolated. There was a 15-minute spell just after half-time where our manager’s intelligence changed the course of the game. His calmness on the ball and ability to pick a simple pass also aided us in some tight positions as Southampton overloaded the flanks. He also showed real desire to bomb forward and aid the attack. Fernandes’s lethal winner sealed the win, in what was his second consecutive match wearing the captain's armband.

Man Utd beat Southampton 1-0 in the Premier League and their new defensive midfielder made some key contributions late in the game.

The 30-year-old completed his move to the Reds from Real Madrid on Monday and after making his debut, he will no doubt now be looking to get more minutes in a United shirt.

“We have to carry on for the rest of the season. “We said it today before the game. That’s what it’s about to play for Manchester United.” “An amazing cross from Diogo,” said Fernandes. Buoyed by the incisive runs of Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho, who began to cut inside to create space for others, the Reds ripped through the Saints' defence with a fantastic passing move that ended with Bruno firing into the back of the net. The hosts were well-drilled and compact, giving United little room to breathe on a less-than-perfect pitch.

MANCHESTER UNITED are hoping to sign Antony from Ajax before the summer transfer window slams shut, despite his club making things difficult.

And Antony recently went public as he attempts to secure a move away. Personal terms have been wrapped up, with the Samba star eager to be strutting his stuff in the Premier League. The Samba star is [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag)’s top target. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) remain hopeful of signing Antony, despite seeing a huge £76million bid for the Brazil international turned down by Ajax. Now, the onus is on United to get a third agreement when it comes to the 22-year-old - with two in the bag already. And John Murtough and Ten Hag are on the same page when it comes to Antony, which is why the Red Devils are continuing negotiations with Ajax in the hope they’ll end up buckling.

Erik ten Hag has praised Bruno Fernandes after Man Utd secured back-to-back wins in the Premier League this week.

"That is what we did today and I'm happy with that. What we bring on the pitch I am really happy with that." "Today he brought the same on the pitch and the finish was really fantastic. A lot of new factors and will not go 100% from the start, but we have to get results and win games. When you come in a season it is always tough," he said. "This gives him an impulse, the captaincy.

They cut Liverpool apart through a well-choreographed attack and a swift break, but Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford don't look like a reliable source of goals at the moment. Those are the moments where United need a centre-forward. A parting of the ways might well suit both parties this week. Club officials will spend the weekend deliberating whether to make yet another bid for Antony, but there's an argument they need a more proven finisher than the promising but still relatively raw Brazilian winger. Chances for United were few and far between at Southampton so the miss could have been costly. Fernandes looked poised to score with his head and his feet but missed both chances.
