Erik ten Hag says Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund are not fit enough to face Southampton

Erik ten Hag says Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund have not progressed enough to make the squad to play in Manchester United’s next game.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to face Southampton in the Premier League, Ten Hag confirmed that the pair are “progressing very well”.

Manuel Ugarte could make his debut.

“Manuel Ugarte, you will have seen he played for Uruguay, he returned this afternoon [Thursday], he was the only player who returned today, the rest yesterday, so he is available for this game,” Ten Hag said.
