Joe Aribo is set for his 25th Premier League game even as the Nigerian midfielder aims to help Southampton secure their first win of the season by defeating Manchester United.
Two teams seeking to return to winning ways after suffering defeats before the international break meet at the St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday as Southampton host Man United.
Aribo suffered his third straight English Premier League defeat this new season with Southampton which fell 3-1 against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on August 31.
For Aribo, the encounter was his 70th appearance across all competitions in the colours of Southampton whom he joined from Glasgow Rangers in the summer window of the year 2022.
The Nigerian who was substituted in the 82nd minute of the defeat to Brentford with his place taken by Adam Lallana has bagged six goals and one assist as a Southampton player.
However, the Super Eagles midfielder has so far played 24 Premier League games in the colours of Southampton from which he has been able to hit the back of the net on two occasions.
