Manuel Ugarte could make his Manchester United debut at Southampton on Saturday despite only returning to Carrington from international duty on Thursday.
Ugarte was the only player to return from international action two days before the trip to the south coast, having played for Uruguay in Venezuela on Tuesday evening, with the rest of United's internationals back in training on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old played all but 11 minutes of Uruguay's two World Cup qualifiers during the break, which was his first action of the season having not played for Paris Saint-Germain before his £42million move to United on deadline day.

United will be without Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund, who continue to progress from their injuries but aren't yet ready to return to the matchday squad. "Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are progressing very well but not ready," said Ten Hag.
