Shaw, Ugarte, Hojlund - Manchester United injury news and return dates ahead of Southampton

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.

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.

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.
