Erik ten Hag clashes with journalist after 3-0 Liverpool defeat
Manchester United travel to Southampton in the early kick-off on Saturday as the Premier League returns after the international break.
Erik ten Hag’s side are already under plenty of pressure after just three matches of the new season, with a bruising 3-0 loss to Liverpool last time out increasing the speculation over the manager’s future.
And the Dutchman needs a convincing result to lift the mood following back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Liverpool, amid stinging criticism from former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo this week.
Southampton boss Russell Martin is hoping to avoid a fourth league defeat in a row, with the newly promoted Saints yet to pick up any points so far on the return to the top flight, but the home crowd will be up for the occasion.
Follow all the latest build-up, score updates and reaction from Southampton vs Manchester United and across the Premier League below:

Tyler Dibling ‘deserves to play’ for Southampton, says Russell Martin
Russell Martin on handing 18-year-old Tyler Dibling his Premier League debut against Manchester United:
“Tyler deserved a start before now, to be honest. I think if he was two or three years older he would have played already – so that’s on us.
“Tyler deserves to play, he’s going to be an incredible player. Today we’ll see with how he deals with the atmosphere and starting the game, because it’s very different.”

Manchester United ‘still in transition period’, says Erik ten Hag
Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United remain on track but has blamed their poor start to the season on injuries and absenses.
“I have said before we are still in a transition period. We have to integrate a lot of young players also in the team,” he said.
“We are still dealing with injuries, we have to bring the injuries (injured players) back in the team. Before anyone thinks about excuses, no, we have to win every game.
“I know that, the team knows this and it doesn’t matter who is available. We will focus on every game and have in every game the mindset that we have to win.”

Southampton vs Manchester United: Russell Martin responds to criticism
Russell Martin brushed off criticism of his tactics ahead of facing Manchester United, with his Southampton side coming into the contest having lost their opening three games of the season.
“It’s the same last season, we had a period at the start where we had a really tough time and then people can say what they want with very little recourse and will judge us based on a highlights reel of eight minutes so I treat it all the same,” Martin, who led the Saints to promotion via the play-offs last season, said on Thursday.
“Because those same people who said things after losing four games last season spoke about what a brilliant job I did at the end of the season.
“There were people that called me a terrible appointment for the club and said they needed to make a change after losing four games. There will be the same people doing that now after three games, three defeats, so I treat it all the same.”

Southampton vs Manchester United
Southampton have not beaten Manchester United in their last 14 attempts, a winless run that stretches back to a 1-0 win at Old Trafford in January 2016 (Charlie Austin struck an 87th minute winner).
Southampton have not beaten Manchester United at home since August 2003. They surely have to fancy their chances today!

Casemiro or Ugarte? Neither! A big call from Erik ten Hag as he drops the Brazilian and recalls Christian Eriksen into midfield. Alejandro Garnacho is also on the bench, as Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford start.
Russell Martin has also made some interesting changes to his team after three defeats. He hands a Premier League debut to 18-year-old Tyler Dibling, and also hands a start to new signing Cameron Archer up front.

Erik ten Hag backs Casemiro following Liverpool display
Erik ten Hag also backed Casemiro following the former Real Madrid midfielder’s poor performance in the defeat to Liverpool, in which he was hooked at half-time after being responsible for the Reds’ first two goals.
“[We] definitely need him, for sure,” Ten Hag said. “And of course I speak with him about the situation, but everyone can have a bad at the office, or do you never have a bad day at the office?
“He is experienced and it’s not the first time, I guess, he has dealt with a bad game and now he has to overcome this one as well.
But that is normal in life. You have highs and you have lows. That is in your life and also in the life of a football player, only for a football player of course that is obvious. There are many observing this and have an opinion about this and also you have to deal with this.
“But he knows how to deal with it and nobody’s career goes only up, no team level, team pattern is only going up.
“You have to deal with it but then it’s about what is the end result.”
