'Long two weeks' for Ten Hag
- Published
It has been a long international break for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
The dissection of United's one-sided hammering by Liverpool was long. After that, there were erroneous reports that he had lost in a charity game he had agreed to manage in for a return to former club FC Utrecht.
Then, Cristiano Ronaldo gave him a kicking for showing a lack of ambition.
Ten Hag gets the chance to reflect on the last two weeks - and look ahead to Saturday's trip to Southampton - when he speaks to the media later this afternoon.
An update on the fitness of left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrrell Malacia, plus striker Rasmus Hojlund is expected. We will also find out how likely new signing Manuel Ugarte is to be involved at St Mary's given he is only likely to get back from South America today.
