Manchester United team news: Casemiro's playing status and Anthony Martial injury latest

Manchester United are set to play Southampton in their fourth Premier League fixture of the season.

United’s start to the Premier League has been fairly turbulent, from suffering back to back defeats to Brighton and Brentford to a brilliant win over Liverpool last Monday.

Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford saw off Jurgen Klopp’s side in a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.

The victory saw Erik ten Hag gain his first ever win in the Premier League as United climbed from 20th to 14th in the table.

Monday also saw the Red Devils announce the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid for a fee of around £60 million.

Here is the latest team news regarding both Manchester United and Southampton:

Manchester United

Against Liverpool, United’s only major player missing was centre-back Victor Lindelof, who was out with an injury, however Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the defender is now back in the squad.

Anthony Martial returned to fitness for the fixture and played 45 minutes in the second half, assisting Rashford for the club’s second goal in the process.

However, Erik ten Hag has now confirmed that the player will not feature against Southampton due to an Achilles problem.

“He came out with a problem with his achilles,” the Dutch manager detailed in his press conference on Friday afternoon.

“I hope he will be available for the next game (against Leicester City).”

One man who is available to feature is Casemiro, who could well make his Premier League and Manchester United debut on Saturday.

Erik ten Hag confirmed in his press conference that Casemiro has completed every training session and is available to play against Southampton.

Brandon Williams and Facundo Pellistri also remain unable to play due to injury.

Southampton

Ralph Hasenhuttl may be able to welcome back Romain Perraud to his side, after the winger suffered a groin problem.

Speaking of the player, the Saints manager said: "Romain is back in training. This is good to see. He was out with groin problems.

“He wasn't ready for the cup game (against Cambridge) but today it looked good. He trained today and we will see if he is ok for the weekend."
