Manchester United travel to Southampton for Saturday’s early Premier League kick off as they look to build on the back of their impressive 2-1 victory over Liverpool last time out.
Erik ten Hag’s men displayed a level of energy and intensity that has been lacking at Old Trafford in recent times and avoided a third consecutive defeat after losses to Brighton and Brentford.
There is a now an optimism around the team and they will have to live up to their own standards
if they are to beat a Southampton side that recorded their first win of the season against Leicester City last weekend.
After a 4-1 hammering from Tottenham and a 2-2 draw with Leeds, the Saints responded to a James Maddison goal to come from behind
and claim a 2-1 victory away at the Foxes thanks to Che Adams’ brace.
It was their second game in a row that they’ve claim points from losing positions
and manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will be hoping to get stuck into this shaky Manchester United side this afternoon.
