Manchester United dealt major injury blow ahead of Southampton as Casemiro’s availability revealed

Erik ten Hag spoke to the media on Friday afternoon ahead of Manchester United’s next outing.

Manchester United face a trip to Southampton in Saturday’s early Premier League kick-off.

Ahead of the tie, Ten Hag discussed a number of topics in his press conference, including team news. And it was a mixed update from Ten Hag as new signing Casemiro is available to feature, but Anthony Martial, who returned from injury vs Liverpool, is now out vs Southampton with an Achilles issue.

Southampton vs Manchester United

Manchester United had a woeful start to the season, which saw them lose to Brighton at Old Trafford for the first time ever before then being smashed 4-0 by Brentford.

However, United bounced back on Monday when they garnered a surprise 2-1 win over Liverpool.

Liverpool were not at their best on the day, though, so it will be interesting to see if United can continue that form into this weekend.

Southampton have had a decent start to 2022/23 - winning one, drawing one and losing one of their opening three matches.

The Saints do not have a great record vs United, though, having failed to beat them in any competition since January, 2016.
