Southampton vs Manchester United, Mission to Revive the Guest Team

Hello, Football Lovers Community

Manchester United will travel to St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton headquarters in the fourth week of the English League, on Saturday (8/31/2019) at 18:30 WIB.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are determined to rise after losing to Crstal Palace at home last week.

In this match, the Red Devils cannot be strengthened by Luke Shaw, who suffered an injury. In addition, Anthony Martial is also doubtful to be able to join when his colleagues face The Saints.

"Luke Shaw is doubtful for Saturday's match against his former club. Another player who is potentially unable to play is Anthony Martial, "Michael Plant wrote on the official Manchester United website regarding the current situation of the Red Devils.

"The Frenchman looked limping at the end of [the match] at Old Trafford. After the match, Ole said his striker was expected to return to training after a week [but had not yet returned to training], "Plant added.

On the other hand, Southampton is also not in good condition. Two of their mainstay players, namely Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond, are certainly absent because of injury. Coach Ralph Hasenhuttl also had to rack his brain to find a replacement for both.

"At the moment, it looks like Nathan [Redmond] will be absent for two or three weeks. It could be longer, but with good rehabilitation we hope [to recover soon]. While Michael Obafemi, has cramps and [possibly absent] for the weekend," Hasenhuttl said as quoted by the official Southampton page.

Had an impressive appearance in the inaugural match, Manchester United showed a less convincing performance in the last 2 matches. They are predicted to appear attacking since the beginning of the game in order to achieve victory over the host.

Nevertheless, the visitors will not be too dominant in ball possessions. They will immediately try to make a quick attack every time they have a chance to master the ball. The Red Devils are predicted to continue to rely on young players in his squad, with Paul Pogba becoming the leader in midfield.

On the other hand, James Ward-Prowse and colleagues will also try to play the ball effectively. The speed of both sides of their wings will be the main weapon in counterattacking. Danny Ings will serve as an executor on the front lines.
