A must-win situation

Southampton and Manchester United is the first Premier League game back after the international break.

United travel to the south coast for the Saturday lunch-time match with the pressure mounting on Erik ten Hag following two defeats from their first three games of the season.

They started brightly with a 1-0 win over Fulham but collapsed to a 2-1 defeat at Brighton before being well beaten 3-0 at home to rivals Liverpool.

There is hope for United in the shape of midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who has joined from Paris Saint-Germain for an initial £42million.

Southampton have had a wretched return to the Premier League so far this season, losing all three of their games so far.

Russell Martin's side have lost 1-0 away to Newcastle and at home to Nottingham Forest, but at least got on the scoresheet in the 3-1 away defeat to Brentford.

Here's everything you need to know about the game.
