admin Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has received a boost as two players should be ready to return against Southampton after the international break, according to a new report.
It has been a poor start to the Premier League season for the Red Devils, as they have suffered two defeats in their opening three league games. That has resulted in pressure already mounting on ten Hag, who will know a victory is needed against the Saints.

Man United receive double injury boost ahead of Southampton
According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are hopeful that they can welcome back striker Rasmus Hojlund and defender Luke Shaw to their squad for the Southampton game.
Hojlund, who was once described as being a “monster” by Reading FC manager Ruben Selles, has missed the start of the season for United after suffering an hamstring injury in the pre-season game against Arsenal. The Red Devils are said to be hopeful of having the forward back in the squad for a week on Saturday, as the striker looks to improve on his tally from last season.
Meanwhile, as well as hopefully seeing Hojlund back playing, ten Hag may also be able to welcome Shaw back to the fold, as he’s been out injured with a calf injury suffered in pre-season.
United did state in their statement when Shaw was injured that they would hope to have him fit after the international break, and that is expected be the case. The defender has been at Old Trafford for some years now, and the £150,000-p/w England international will want to be available for the rest of the campaign with the club seemingly shopping around for more reliable options.
