Southampton vs Man Utd Premier League predictions and stats: Red Devils looking to bounce back
Manchester United will be looking to end their losing streak in the Premier League when they travel to face Southampton this weekend.
The Red Devils lost their last two games before the international break, and are in another rough period under Erik ten Hag. Southampton, meanwhile, are one of two teams yet to pick up a point in the Premier League this season.
How to watch Southampton vs Man Utd live
Southampton vs Man Utd is scheduled for a 12:30pm (UK time) kick-off on Saturday, 14th September, and will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1.
Three Southampton vs Man Utd predictions
Southampton 0-1 Man Utd (8/1 with BetMGM)
Man Utd are unbeaten in their past 15 away games against Southampton, winning 10 of those. But Man Utd haven’t scored more than one goal in a game this season.
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime (19/10 with BetMGM)
Bruno Fernandes scored the only goal in Man Utd’s last visit to St Mary’s. He has also scored in two of his three away games against Southampton.
Under 2.5 goals (7/5 with BetMGM)
Since Man Utd’s 9-0 win over Southampton in February 2021 — which was preceded by a 3-2 win — this fixture hasn’t been great for goals. In the past four matches, just five goals have been scored in total.
How both teams go into Southampton vs Man Utd
Southampton’s return to the Premier League hasn’t been a good one. The odds were always against Russell Martin’s side, who were among the favourites to be relegated come the end of the season. But there may have been hope among Southampton fans, given odds were slightly altered by the fact that all three promoted sides went down last season.
After three games, Southampton aren’t doing much to prove their doubters wrong. Saints are one of two sides still waiting for their first win of the season. They lost their first two games against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest 1-0, before a 3-1 defeat to Brentford going into the international break.
Man Utd, meanwhile, are once again suffering. Ten Hag was given another chance in the summer after leading Man Utd to FA Cup glory, despite reports that he would be sacked anyway. And the vultures are circling once more.
The Red Devils did start the new season with a 1-0 win over Fulham, which was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests. There was reason to be somewhat optimistic for Red Devils fans. But they lost their second game 2-1 against Brighton before falling 3-0 to Liverpool at Old Trafford last time out.

Southampton team news
Gavin Bazuno remains Southampton’s only long-term injury problem, out until the new year, while Kamaldeen Sulemana will miss this match. However, Ross Stewart should return, while Ben Brereton Diaz is fine despite being subbed off by Chile during the international break.
Man Utd team news
Man Utd’s injury problems haven’t really eased much during the international break, with the likes of Luke Shaw, Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Leny Yoro all still sidelined. Bruno Fernandes picked up a knock while playing for Portugal, but is only a very minor doubt.
Manuel Ugarte should be clear to make his Man Utd debut.
Southampton vs Man Utd head-to-head
