With three defeats out of three, Southampton have obviously not made a great start in terms of results. There has been a lot of scrutiny of the way they play too, and of Saints boss Russell Martin's principles in playing out from the back, with people comparing them to what Burnley were like last season. Martin has to have a philosophy of how he wants his team to play, though, so I do have sympathy for him.
Saha claimed Ten Hag's back was against the wall. He claimed the Dutchman could find himself in an untenable position and lose his job if United lost to Southampton on Saturday. This indicates the level of pressure that Ten Hag is under, making the match crucial.
