Manchester United and Ten Hag paid a visit to Southampton in the game week 4 of the Premier League. The Red Devils managed to grab all 3-points from the fixture.

As a result, the Red Devils will be keen to build on this performance.

Andre Onana made a huge save and kept his team in it. Man Utd then began a counter attack. Bruno Fernandes managed to whip the ball in and Matthijs De Ligt was there to head it. The 25-year-old scored his first goal for the club. Merely 6 minutes later, Marcus Rashford doubled United’s advantage. Then, things went from bad to worse for the home side as Jack Stephens was sent-off in the second half. Garnacho came off the bench and scored in added time to make it 3-0 for the Red Devils. De Ligt was adjudged the Premier League Player of the Match for his impressive performance.
