**Southampton, England** – Manchester United bounced back from a shaky start to the season with a convincing 3-0 victory over Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. The win sees Erik ten Hag’s side end a two-game losing streak and claim their first three points away from home this season.
New signing Matthijs de Ligt opened his United account in the 35th minute, heading in a pinpoint cross from Bruno Fernandes. Just a minute later, Marcus Rashford ended his 13-game goal drought with a well-placed shot from outside the box, putting United in firm control.
Southampton had dominated the early stages of the match and even missed a penalty in the 34th minute, with Cameron Archer’s effort saved by United goalkeeper Andre Onana. However, the missed penalty proved to be a turning point, as United quickly seized control and punished their opponents.
The game was effectively put beyond doubt in the 79th minute when Southampton defender Jack Stephens was shown a red card for a high tackle on Alejandro Garnacho, leaving the hosts with ten men. Garnacho then added a third goal for United in the 86th minute, sealing a comfortable victory.
The win sees Manchester United move up to sixth in the Premier League table with six points from four games. Southampton, meanwhile, remain bottom of the league with no points after their first four matches.
