Man Utd: The first six fixtures of the new Premier League season
Manchester United saw their hopes of Premier League glory dented by Southampton on Sunday afternoon. Fred’s own goal cost the Red Devils in the first half, despite Mason Greenwood going on to equalise. So Express Sport will now take a look at three players who need dropping in the wake of the match.
United suffered a blow before the match against Southampton, with Scott McTominay left on the bench because of an injury.
Solskjaer said beforehand: “Of course we want to keep continuity but Scott is struggling with an injury, hopefully we can get half an hour out of him if needed.”
And United clearly missed the Scotland international.
Nemanja Matic played throughout the contest at a pedestrian pace, with the years clearly catching up with the Serbia international.
The intelligent Donny van de Beek could have potentially been a better option, especially given the fact Fred was already on the pitch to act as an anchorman.
