Manchester United are missing Rasmus Hojlund, who is currently sidelined with injury. Hojlund scored in his first appearance of pre-season against Arsenal in Los Angeles but tweaked his hamstring after that, which saw him cautiously leave the pitch as he was replaced.

It was subsequently confirmed that Hojluind would be out for around six weeks and the game after the September international game was earmarked for his return to action.

Mary's Stadium to face Southampton. United got their season off to a winning start, scoring with just a few minutes left to beat Fulham, but they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton last weekend and there could be no complaints.

Alejandro Garnacho's goal to make it 2-1 was unfortunately disallowed due to Joshua Zirkzee touching the ball from an offside position, but nobody could say Brighton were lucky winners.

Manchester United Lift Mood By Easing To Victory At 10-Man Southampton

Manchester United gave manager Erik ten Hag some breathing space with a 3-0 win at Southampton on Saturday thanks to goals from Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho. However, United had to ride out an early Southampton storm and the outcome could have been vastly different had Andre Onana not saved Cameron Archer's penalty at 0-0. De Ligt's first United goal and Rashford's first for six months quickly flipped momentum in the visitors' favour just before half-time. Southampton's woes were compounded when captain Jack Stephens was sent-off 11 minutes from time for a wild challenge on Garnacho, who rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.
