Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho were all on the scoresheet at St Mary’s Stadium as the Reds triumphed over the Saints. However, it wasn’t a perfect afternoon for United, as injury issues resurfaced once again.
Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui were seen collapsing on the field during the victory at Southampton, and Erik Ten Hag confirmed that it was too early to assess the extent of their issues. There was good news for De Ligt, though, as he left the field after suffering from cramps and is expected to be fine.
Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount are out for a short time, and Ten Hag gave updates on their conditions after the match. “We need everyone, and we hope the players return,” he explained.
“It won’t be for the next match, but I hope in the coming weeks, they [Hojlund, Mount, and Shaw] will rejoin the group.” Victor Lindelof was expected to resume training with the United squad this month after suffering a toe injury, but there is no sign of his return yet.
Tyrell Malacia missed the entire last season due to an injury, but he was selected for United’s European squad last week. Ten Hag confirmed that he could return to training soon and will be available to play for the Reds in the near future.
Leny Yoro remains United’s only long-term injury concern, with his return expected toward the end of the season after an issue during preseason.
