Erik ten Hag has had his first Premier League win as Manchester United manager, but all the pressure will be on his side to make it two in two when they take on Southampton on the South Coast in the opening game of the weekend’s Premier League TV schedule.
The Red Devils were in a fully-fledged crisis a week ago, but things look much brighter following Monday’s victory against rivals Liverpool and the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid.
Man Utd have been calling out for a midfielder destroyer for years now and the Brazilian is one of the best in the world, but his arrival and the North West Derby win has not fixed the deeper set issues at the club.
Fresh off a first 2022/23 league win of their own and a 3-0 Carabao Cup victory against Cambridge United in midweek, Southampton will be looking use what Brentford and Brighton did to ten Hag’s side as a blueprint for success.
That may be harder to do with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez at centre-back, as Man Utd looked as solid as they have done in some time on Monday, while Casemiro should add even more steel.
But Ralph Hasenhuttl will be determined to ensure his Saints don’t given the visitors a minute’s peace on Saturday.

Our prediction: Southampton v Man Utd
Saturday lunchtime’s game is one that could be settled by who starts better.
The Red Devils flew out of the blocks against Liverpool, but if Southampton can score early and the St Mary’s crowd gets up, then it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see them fall apart once again.
The pressure is on ten Hag’s side to show that Monday’s victory was not a one-off and this is indeed a new dawn for the Old Trafford club.
Our prediction: Southampton 0-2 Man Utd (10/1 at bet365)
