Bruno Fernandes’ second-half strike was enough to continue Manchester United’s revival with a second win of the week, this time against Southampton.
United, lifted by Monday’s 2-1 home win over Liverpool, were able to follow-up with another victory after starting the season with back-to-back Premier League defeats. It was a tight affair against Ralph Hasenhuttl's men, with both sides creating but unable to capitalise on chances during a goalless first half, before Bruno Fernandes fired home what turned out to be the winner 10 minutes after the break.
The Saints pushed to try and get back level, but found United's defence in little mood to break, with England pair Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw once again left out by Erik ten Hag.
