Ralph Hasenhuttl, right, has talked up the fitness levels of his Southampton team since the resumption of football (Clive Brunskill/NMC Pool/PA)Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has hinted he may have to rotate his squad with three games in the space of six days, but insisted they will “play 100 per cent” at Manchester United on Monday. The Saints start next week with a trip to Old Trafford before they return to St Mary’s on Thursday to host Brighton. “I am looking intensely at the players to see how they are and how they feel,” Hasenhuttl said. He missed Thursday’s 1-1 draw at Everton, but Hasenhuttl gave him a chance of being back for the Old Trafford clash. “It is quite tough, I think unlikely,” Hasenhuttl said when asked if Boufal and Djenepo would return during the current campaign.
