Manchester United are set to take on another Premier League an Away challenge against Southampton today by 12:30 Nigerian Time.
The United's Boss, earlier yesterday, during a Pre-match press conference had revealed that their new signing [Casemiro] would make his debut against Southampton. He also added that Anthony Martial would be absent in today's game following his injury.
However, Despite knowing Southampton will present a different kind of challenge, Manchester United will be encouraged by their excellent performance in Monday's 2-1 loss to Liverpool.
Due to the Saints' backline sitting much deeper, Erik ten Hag's team is predicted to possess the ball more frequently and apply pressure in the final third. Despite not having won away in the league since February's 4-2 victory over Leeds, United is the favorite to claim the three points.
On Saturday, there will be a significant difference because they have a top-tier defensive midfielder in their lineup. At St Mary's, Casemiro will make his debut, and Ten Hag has cleared him to play.
Anthony Elanga, who was removed at halftime against Liverpool, may be replaced by Ronaldo since United will likely require a poacher against Southampton rather than a player who can dash behind the defense.
Christian Eriksen may be able to join Bruno Fernandes up the field in a 4-1-2-3 formation as a result of Casemiro's elite abilities. To change the defensive set-up that had long kept Liverpool at bay, Ten Hag would be harshly criticized.
