Like Southampton, United have struggled to score in the early stages of the season netting just two goals in three matches a year after mustering 57 goals in 38 league matches last season, good for ninth best in the EPL. At the conclusion of last season, ManU was the only club with a winning record to own a negative goal differential finishing tied for seventh in the standings.
It has been 11 seasons since Manchester United have won the Premier League title, seeing crosstown rival Manchester City hoist the trophy seven times in that span.
Without the services of Mason Mount and Luke Shaw, manager Erik ten Hag has failed to find offensive production though 23-year-old Netherlands forward Joshua Zirkzee, who joined the club in July, has scored once in his first three matches after scoring 11 goals for Bologna in Serie A last season.
Southampton has earned a draw in seven of the last 11 meetings against United but have just seven wins in 48 matches against the visitors all-time.
