Man Utd news LIVE: Casemiro snubs exit as Manuel Ugarte debut could be delayed
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will spend the international break plotting how his side can finally overhaul their woeful form and return back among the Premier League title contenders. A disastrous start to the campaign has seen the Red Devils earn only three points from their first three league games.
Ten Hag's side have now won just four of their last 13 Premier League matches, although, as the Dutch coach enjoys pointing out, saindwiched in that run is an FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City. INEOS placed their trust in Ten Hag by retaining him, handing him a new contract, and financing a net spend of £100million during the summer transfer window. Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be keen to see an improvement.
United face winless Southampton after the international break and fans are eager to see how Ten Hag has improved the team.

37 mins ago09:08Sam SmithRoy Keane suggests new Casemiro roleRoy Keane has suggested playing Casemiro higher up the pitch.
The Man Utd midfielder was hauled off at half-time after making two mistakes which led to Liverpool goals last Sunday.
Casemiro has generally started in a holding midfield role but United icon Keane believes he could be useful further up the pitch.
“I wouldn’t be writing him off yet,” the ex-midfielder said.
“His role in the team, if he gets back in and a couple of games under his belt, might be a bit higher up the pitch.
“The first thing we always say is, ‘he can’t get around the pitch’. But what we’ve seen going forward, he does have an eye for a pass. Set-pieces, how many times does he get his head on it?”
1 hour ago08:33Sam SmithJurgen Klopp takes swipe at Erik ten HagJurgen Klopp has taken a subtle swipe at Erik ten Hag for not supporting Jadon Sancho through a tough time at Man Utd.
Ten Hag fell out with Sancho 12 months ago and the winger was banished from the first team.
He was subsequently loaned out to Borussia Dortmund. He has since joined Chelsea on loan and will sign for the Blues permanently.
Klopp appeared to take a dig at the situation ahead of deadline day, saying: "If the whole world loses trust and faith in the player, the manager has to be the one behind the player.
"I cannot just buy into that ‘he's useless,’ like other clubs did by the way - buying a player for £80 million and then sending him out on loan!"

The defensive midfielder's long-awaited arrival was finally confirmed on deadline day, with the Red Devils securing a £42m switch from Paris Saint-Germain.
Ugarte was not registered in time to face Liverpool.
However, he could be in line to make his debut against Southampton on September 14.
Ugarte plays for Uruguay in Venezuela on September 10, though, four days before the early Saturday kick-off against the Saints.
To make matters worse, the World Cup qualifier kicks off at 11pm UK time, meaning Ugarte will have little time to travel back to Manchester and be ready to start against Southampton.

Reports in the Turkish media claim that Man Utd agreed a loan deal for the midfielder to depart Old Trafford.
However, Turkiye Gazetesi claim that the Brazilian snubbed the proposal.
Casemiro has endured a tough start to the season and was hauled off at half-time during last Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Liverpool.
