Manchester United entered the game determined to build on the momentum they gained from beating Liverpool 2-1 on Monday (August). Southampton put up a great fight on their home turf and ensured they ended the first half on level terms.
Bruno Fernandes would later prove to be decisive, finding the back of the net shortly after the restart to hand Erik Ten Hag’s men another vital three points.

Scholes went on to assess Manchester United’s efforts during the game. He noted that while Erik Ten Hag’s men did a decent job at the back, their output in attack left a lot to be desired. The Manchester United legend said:
What’s next for Manchester United in the Premier League?
