Two players should be fit to play against Southampton following the international break, which is good news for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils’ Premier League campaign hasn’t started off well; in their first three league games, they have lost twice. Ten Hag is already under pressure as a result, and he will realise that a victory over the Saints is imperative.

With five new players joining the team and thirteen departing, United was one of the busiest teams in the league during the summer transfer window. This is a blatant sign that the club’s new board was prepared to support their management in their quest to outperform the previous one.

Man United is already interested in adding a left-back and a midfielder, even though the transfer market merely closed on Friday night. The Red Devils allegedly sent scouts to study Juan Cabal, a defender for Juventus, in an attempt to find a stand-in for Luke Shaw, who is sidelined.

The full-back has just recently joined the Italian team, but United has taken notice of him due to his strong early-season play. Juventus is reportedly seeking a fee of about €30 million, or about £25 million.

Man United is investigating a trade for Franco Mastantuono in addition to Cabal. The 17-year-old River Plate player is rumoured to have attracted the interest of the Premier League team, who have surpassed Real Madrid and Barcelona in the competition. The two Spanish powerhouses have refrained from making a move for the midfield player, who is reportedly valued at over £35 million.

Ten Hag will be entirely focused on the team’s upcoming match against Southampton, even though United may be considering a few transfers for the new year. The Dutchman has just seen a significant injury boost.

Man United is boosted by two injuries ahead of Southampton.

Manchester United hopes to get Luke Shaw, a defender, and forward Rasmus Hojlund back in their lineup for their match against Southampton, according to the Manchester Evening News.

The manager of Reading FC, Ruben Selles, famously referred to Hojlund as a “monster.” He has missed the start of the United season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in the preseason match against Arsenal. As the attacker tries to surpass his total from the previous campaign, the Red Devils are reportedly hoping to get the forward back in the lineup for a week on Saturday.

Along with maybe seeing Hojlund return to action, ten Hag might also be able to welcome Shaw back to the team after he missed time due to a calf ailment sustained during the preseason.

When Shaw was hurt, United did say in a statement that they hoped to get him back after the international break, and that is anticipated to happen. The England international defender, who earns £150,000 per week at Old Trafford, has been there for a while, and he will want to be available for the remainder of the season as the team appears to be looking for more dependable choices.
