"To take them out is tough, but we have signed the other players for a reason. Tyler deserves to start. If he was a bit older he would have played already. He is going to be an incredible player.I think it's a must-win for Manchester United.Today's not the game you want, as they're expected to come here and win. I think it will be tough for Man Utd.Erik ten Hag offered up some reasons why Manchester United had struggled so far this season, then said he wasn't making excuses.
There are legitimate issues - how fit is Manuel Ugarte for instance? Since his £50.2m signing from PSG he hasn't played a game or trained with his new club prior to the international break and only returned on Thursday afternoon. Russell Martin doesn't ever want to change his style of play and you could see that in the Championship last season. He does not adapt, even when they were conceding goals from the back early on in the previous campaign.At the other end of the pitch they don't have the cutting edge to be affording the mistakes in conceding.
Although Ronaldo went on to say he also thought his old club could not win the championship, he felt, as manager, Ten Hag was sending out the wrong message. "My focus is winning games here at Southampton if we do that the football takes care of itself. It is never nice missing out and it is where I want to be, but the main aim is getting wins here at St Mary's."Manuel Ugarte suits Manchester United's defensive setup nicely. He can cover lots of ground and hunt for the ball which is key.
Finer details come with time but there should be a foundation there to build on because of the level they have all been playing at individually.Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says he is still relying on Casemiro despite the midfielder's "bad day at the office" against Liverpool.
Manchester United have come from behind to beat Southampton in 10 different Premier League games – only Liverpool have more comeback wins against a single opponent in the competition’s history .
