In a summer that’s been filled with turmoil, it’s been a rare joyful week for Manchester United who are still riding high from their shock and impressive 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Monday night.
Jadon Sancho opened the scoring after just 16 minutes in the crunch clash before Marcus Rashford doubled United’s advantage early in the second half. Liverpool pulled a goal back through Mohamed Salah late on but it proved to be too little too late for Jurgen Klopp’s men who remain winless in the Premier League so far this season.
Attention in the United camp though will now turn to this weekend’s early kick-off down on the south coast when Erik ten Hag’s side will travel to take on Southampton. The Saints had been in a pretty torrid Premier League form up until last weekend, going eight games without victory.
