Bruno Fernandes has warned his Manchester United teammates that “one win doesn’t win the league” after beating Southampton 1-0 at St. Mary’s.
The Portuguese’s second-half strike was the difference between the two sides as United stopped a run of seven successive away defeats. It also ensured that Monday night’s feelgood victory over Liverpool wasn’t wasted just days later.
United were made to scrap for their second positive result of the season, with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side well drilled and adventurous in possession. Fernandes should have given the visitors the lead in the opening 45 minutes, only to see his skewed effort result in a goalmouth scramble which was somehow kept out of the net.
