Man United have started the season poorly. They have won just one of three Premier League matches and that was on the opening day. Next up, though, it's Southampton away.

The Saints are recently promoted back to the Premier League. That said, make no mistake about it, this doesn't mean they are easy pickings. Despite Man United's club size, every opponent is difficult for them at this stage.

Erik ten Hag simply must pick up a win at St Marys Stadium. With no disrespect to the opposition, anything other than three points for the Red Devils should be seen as a failure.

So, let's jump into the Southampton vs Man United preview, featuring all the key information you must know.
