Because two of my defenders have come forward and admitted that they are afraid of him, I have decided to suspend them. It’s sad that none of my players have agreed to manage him yet, but I’m done with everything.” In light of the fact that he has suspended TWO players for the infraction, the manager of Southampton has named ONE player from Manchester United that everyone at the club does not want to face.

With the international break concluded, the team is preparing to face Manchester United at St Mary’s Stadium.

In anticipation of this important game, Southampton’s manager, Russell Martin, has acknowledged that squad changes are “unavoidable.”

He shared the difficulty of his situation, where he must balance his commitment to the players who were crucial in achieving promotion with the need to assess their current performance. Martin emphasized that, despite his deep respect and appreciation for those who helped the team reach the Premier League, it is vital to consider their current form.

He also pointed out that the arrival of several new and talented players requires a period of adjustment for them to integrate smoothly into the team.

Martin further explained that bringing in new talent means that some adjustments are necessary, and different players need opportunities to demonstrate their abilities.

He highlighted the importance of finding the right balance and allowing new signings to adapt, indicating that lineup changes are imminent and that players should make the most of their opportunities when they come.
