**Southampton, England:** Manchester United bounced back from their humiliating defeat to Liverpool with a convincing 3-0 win over Southampton at St Mary’s on Saturday. The victory saw Erik ten Hag’s men gain much-needed momentum after a disappointing start to the season.

The turning point of the match came in the 33rd minute when Southampton’s Cameron Archer saw his penalty saved by André Onana. The Saints, despite having the majority of possession after Onana’s save, failed to capitalize on the opportunity.

Just two minutes and 31 seconds later, Manchester United took the lead. Matthijs de Ligt, capitalizing on the missed penalty, headed home his first Premier League goal. Marcus Rashford, ending a goal drought that stretched back to March, added a second just before half-time with a well-taken strike from outside the box.

Southampton’s hopes of a comeback were further dashed in the second half when Jack Stephens was sent off for a reckless tackle on Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winger then sealed the victory for Manchester United in stoppage time.

The match marked a disappointing start to the season for Southampton, who are now winless in their first four league matches. Ben Brereton Díaz, who appeared for Southampton for the fourth time, also set a new Premier League record for most appearances without ever winning, reaching 18 games (14 at Sheffield United and 4 at Southampton).

Manchester United, on the other hand, will be hoping this convincing victory will kickstart their season.
