Manchester United will be targeting a much-needed victory when they travel to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.
United, who won their most recent visit to St Mary’s, winning 1-0 in August 2022, were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford last time out. That marked a second successive defeat, having been beaten 2-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion eight days earlier.
As a result, United amassed just three points from their opening three matches, meaning they have spent the international break 14th in the table.

Ahead of this weekend’s long trip south, United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed the game will come too soon for both Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund. However, deadline day signing Manuel Ugarte is in contention to make his debut.

With that said, here is all the very latest on the United injury front ahead of what promises to be a demanding few weeks.
Leny Yoro
Injury: Fractured metatarsal
Yoro, who joined United from Lille in the summer transfer window, fractured his metatarsal in the opening game of the club’s pre-season tour of the United States. He required surgery and it is still thought he may be sidelined for up to three months.
The Frenchman, however, is understood to be making good progress, so much so that he is already walking without crutches.
Possible return date: November.
Victor Lindelof
Injury: Toe.
Lindelof, who is out of contract at Old Trafford next summer, was taken off at half-time in United’s final pre-season friendly against Liverpool in South Carolina last month and has not featured since.
Speaking ahead of the defeat to Brighton three weeks ago, Ten Hag said: “He has an issue on his toe, hopefully he can return quickly, but not available.”
The United manager did not speak about him during this afternoon’s [Thursday] press conference.

Possible return date: Unknown.
Luke Shaw
Injury: Calf
United confirmed Shaw would miss the start of the season just three days before their Premier League opener against Fulham last month. The club said in a statement the left-back was working hard on his rehabilitation with a view to returning after the first international break of the season.
However, the trip to St Mary’s will come too soon for the England international.
Speaking this afternoon, Ten Hag said: “Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are progressing very well but not ready,”
He last played for United on February 18, starting the 2-1 win over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.
Possible return date: September 17 (Barnsley H).
Tyrell Malacia
Injury: Knee
Malacia has been sidelined for more than a year because of a knee injury, meaning he last featured for United in any capacity on the final day of the 2022/23 Premier League season against Fulham.
He has been working hard on his rehabilitation programme and Ten Hag, at the start of August, said his fellow countryman could be back in contention within the next couple of months.
The United manager said: “He is not that far [off], but he is now in a progress situation. At a relatively short notice, he can again return into team training and then into team performance in games. I think it would be possible [to be available again] in two months.”
Last week, he was included in United’s 25-man squad for their upcoming Europa League campaign, suggesting he is closing in on a return.
Possible return date: October.

Manuel Ugarte
Ugarte returned to Carrington today after representing Uruguay over the international break and could make his debut at St Mary’s. He played for his country as recently as Tuesday, starting their goalless draw with Venezuela, while suffering from a fever.
However, he has seemingly shaken off that complaint and will be available for selection on Saturday.
Ten Hag said: “Manuel Ugarte, you will have seen he played for Uruguay, he returned this afternoon, he was the only player who returned today, the rest yesterday, so he is available for this game.”
Possible return date: September 14 (Southampton A).
Mason Mount
Injury: Muscle.
Mount, ahead of the defeat to Liverpool, issued an update on social media, revealing he had suffered a ‘minor muscle issue’. As a result, he would face another spell on the sidelines.
He suffered the blow in the defeat at Brighton and said that he expects to be unavailable for ‘a few games’.
Possible return date: Unknown.
Rasmus Hojlund
Injury: Hamstring
Hojlund suffered a hamstring injury in the opening game of United’s pre-season tour of the United States, being forced off just minutes after scoring in the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.
As outlined above, the trip to St Mary’s will come too soon for him. The next available opportunity for him to potentially make his comeback will be against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
Possible return date: September 17 (Barnsley H).
