This record coincides with the injury to first-choice attacker Rasmus Hojlund, Hojlund hit the ground running when he returned for preseason, scoring within 20 minutes against Arsenal, some few minutes later he hit the ground literally with a hamstring injury that kept him out for six weeks. Over the last few weeks he has steped up his recovery and Ten Hag refused to rule out a return against Southhampton in five days time, " We have to see horw it develops, how he can progress during the (international) break, to get match fit. He returned on training pitch but it will take a while before he is up."
Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof are no strangers to the treatment room at United, Shaw last played for United back in February, but after taking part in the latter stages of Euro 2024, there was optimism that he would be fit in time for the season opener at Fulham, however just three days before the game the club confirmed he will miss the start of the season with a calf injury, if his recovery has gone according to plan then he should be in the matchday squad against his former club. Victor Lindelof, a player United will have preferred to sell over the summer managed to stay put due to a toe injury, unfortunately he also missed the first three games of the season but should be in the squad at St Mary''s stadium.
