The Red Devils have been handed two new injury boosts.
When the Premier League 2024-25 season returns from the international break, Manchester United will be looking to get past their slow start.
After falling short 3-0 against Liverpool at home, United will travel south to take on Southampton in an attempt to win all three points. The Saints have only scored one goal in their first three games and have lost all of them.
In addition, United have only scored twice as many goals as they have played, so they will have to step it up against Russell Martin’s team.
Mason Mount was added to United’s already extensive list of injury concerns ahead of the trip to St Mary’s. This comes just before the team lost to Liverpool. We examine the players who will play versus the Saints ahead of the season’s return this weekend.
