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.
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. In recent hours, it’s emerged De Jong has started to re-negotiate his salary with Barcelona. So, good is not good enough, always go for better.” “When he is facing the game, he is a spectacular footballer and you have to try to turn him around, to divide, who does it very well because he has a lot of power, he's physically strong and he has last passes. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) boss [Erik ten Hag](/latest/erik-ten-hag) has hinted the club are open to bolstering their midfield ranks after it was claimed they had made a promise to [Barcelona](/latest/barcelona-fc) star Frenkie de Jong.
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.

"We at Ajax are always trying to strive for the top," added Ten Hag. "For sure, we hope he will be the next star of Ajax." We are playing in the Champions League and I don't think Manchester United are." You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. "Antony has made it clear he wants to leave Ajax and join United, though. I understand the lad," Schreuder said after Ajax's win on Sunday.

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 are continuing talks with Ajax over Antony after a new bid was rejected on Friday by the Dutch club, according to Sky Sports News Report: Manchester United Continue Talks Over Winger After New Bid Was Rejected
Manchester United boss Erikten Hag has warned Harry Maguire that his place in the starting lineup is not a guarantee despite being the club captain.
WHAT HE SAID: Speaking to reporters ahead of Manchester United's clash against Southampton, Ten Hag said, "It doesn’t mean when you are captain, you are established to play always, especially when you also have Varane in your squad. Varane's stature is immense and in pre-season, we took a decision to build him physically, so he had a bit of a slow start." Harry Maguire was left on the bench by the Manchester United manager in their last Premier League game against Liverpool where they registered their first win of the season.
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. [Casemiro](https://thepeoplesperson.com/2022/08/27/casemiro-to-wear-number-18-for-manchester-united-251802/) deal was also quite pricey as United entered negotiations quite late. But this is not expected to stop United’s pursuit of the Brazilian winger. They took their time before managing to get free agent Christian Eriksen to sign on the dotted lines. The Dutchman is facing the same issues which at one point had plagued his predecessors.
Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand believe their former club's pursuit of Ajax winger Antony is dragging on because clubs have to 'pay ...
He has a bundle of tricks and will open things up for them. ’I think they have done that all summer, we have seen that with [Frenkie] De Jong. That has dragged on all summer because that is a player that he has identified and that he wants. He is at a good club in Ajax, don’t get me wrong. ’The one I would say is, is he good enough? 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.
Manchester United made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League after defeating Southampton 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.
The Saints were surprisingly camped in the United as they went in search of an equaliser, but Ten Hag's troops defended well and remained resolute to help the see out the game for a second successive win. Ten Hag responded with his first change three minutes later, as Ronaldo came in for Jadon Sancho while Casemiro came on for his debut 10 minutes later in place of Elanga. Ten minutes into the second half, United got the breakthrough as a well-worked team move ended with Diogo Dalot picking our Fernandes, who found the back of the net with a first-time finish for his first goal of the season.
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.
Manchester United continued their improved start to the Premier League season as Bruno Fernandes provided a tidy finish to help Erik ten Hag's side to a 1-0 win over Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday. After both sides proved wasteful in ...
"I think it was the best part of us, we kept control straight after half time. Now we have to carry on," Fernandes said after the match. They did a really good job from the first minute. We had good moments and chances, we really stretched them. Of course we were really happy. We have experienced that already, sometimes you have to suffer. "I'm very proud of what the guys did today. "It's important because one win or two wins don't make the league. [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364), United should have gone ahead in the 19th minute but were denied by [Gavin Bazunu](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/275735/Gavin-Bazunu) and [Armel Bella-Kotchap](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/286128/Armel-Bella-Kotchap), who kept out [Anthony Elanga](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/296622/Anthony-Elanga) and [Christian Eriksen](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/144130/Christian-Eriksen) from close range. We were more compact on the long balls. After Liverpool everyone could feel it. "We knew it playing against Southampton, it is not easy.
Man United beat Southampton 1-0 on Saturday and the game's goalscorer Bruno Fernandes reacted after the game.
"We know sometimes you have to suffer, this is the Premier League, every game is tough. Fernandes reflected on the performance after the match and he urged his teammates to continue to play with spirit. Fernandes' goal was an outstanding finish from the edge of the box and it was a strike worthy of winning the game at St.
Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal of the game as Manchester United beat Southampton at St Mary's to end their worst away run in the Premier League era.
Scott McTominay's drive tested Bazunu early in the second half, while Bella-Kotchap made a superb tackle to stop Elanga as he prepared to shoot after bursting through on goal. Bella-Kotchap should have made United pay for those misses when a corner fell to the Saints defender, but he somehow contrived to shoot high into the stands from close range. It took a combination of superb goalkeeping and last-ditch defending to stop United taking the lead midway through the first half.
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag pleased to see his team play 'how I want to' in 1-0 win over Southampton. BT Sport pundit Paul Scholes disagrees, saying that the main highlight was winning the match. Fellow commentator Rio Ferdinand was on the ...
Ten Hag explained: "I think it was the best part. Rashford was more often the target. The Manchester United manager explained: "I was satisfied. Ten Hag was enthusiastic. He said: "Straight after half-time we created three really good chances. He began by pointing out that his team had learned well from their 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Brentford two weeks ago.
Manchester United secured a 1-0 win against Southampton, with Bruno Fernandes scoring the crucial goal.
Bruno Fernandes' goal proved the difference between the two sides with United's defence standing firm in the face of late Southampton pressure.
Christian Eriksen – 7.5: Excellent in the first half. Wasted a good attacking chance right before the final whistle. Should have scored on 30 minutes when the ball fell to him in space from a corner, however. Headed straight at David de Gea from a good position on 65 minutes. Anthony Elanga – 6: Failed to make the opportunities he did get on the ball count and was denied by a great stop from Bazunu on 19 minutes, from which he probably should have scored. Cristiano Ronaldo – 6: Won a few balls in the air after coming on but was not presented with any opportunities to test the goalkeeper. Diogo Dalot – 8: His crossing was excellent, picking out Fernandes for the opening goal in the second half while it was his ball in that led to United’s flurry of chances on 19 minutes. Adam Armstrong – 7: Perhaps could have done better with a header on 13 minutes but caused problems for United down the left, including picking out Adams with a good low ball on 31 minutes and then crossing to Aribo for his header in the second half. Stuart Armstrong – 6: Brought on to provide more energy and to put United under more pressure and managed to do that, though didn’t impact the game on the ball a great deal. Joe Aribo – 6: A few nice touches here and there but the game seemed to pass him by operating in the number 10 role. Romeo Lavia – 6.5: Performed his role pretty well overall, keeping hold of possession in midfield when under pressure on a number of occasions thanks to his strength on the ball. Gavin Bazunu – 7.5: Made a great save to keep out Anthony Elanga on 19 minutes and also denied Scott McTominay’s volley in the second half.
Bruno Fernandes's sweetly struck finish early in the second half gave Manchester United a 1-0 win against Southampton in a keenly contested match.
The referee was looking directly at the incident but his view was possibly concealed by McTominay, who appeared to juggle the ball with both his left and right hands before swatting it away in the box. It is a new way of playing and [there are] a lot of new facts. We started from the first day of pre-season to get that in and now the window is not closed so every time a new player is in we have to inform them about the rules. First Fernandes miscued a header from a Diogo Dalot cross under pressure from Walker-Peters and from there another barmy few seconds in the United chronicles ensued. Tyrell Malacia was bright, Christian Eriksen was typically classy at the base of midfield and, for all of the flak that came his way following the dismal defeats by Brentford and Brighton, Lisandro Martínez was gallant in defence. More new faces are expected too, with Ten Hag keen on signing a backup goalkeeper and a reunion with the Ajax forward Antony, who has made clear his desire to depart the Eredivisie club.

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.

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.
According to reports, Manchester United will try once again to seal a deal with Ajax for their superstar Antony by coming back with an even more improved ...
