Three points and that's all that matters.
This is what we will remember from Manchester United's match this afternoon (1-0) at Southampton.
Not flamboyant in the game, Erik ten Hag's men still managed to find the net thanks to Bruno Fernandes.
Opposite, the Saints were valiant but never managed to weaken the defense of the Red Devils.
TOPS
Bruno Fernandes the savior
The Portuguese was finally able to weigh in on a match with Manchester United.
For many weeks, this was no longer the case.
This Saturday, the Red Devils attacking midfielder was probably the most awake on the pitch despite the match schedule (kick-off at 12:30 p.m. UK time).
On a good cross in one touch from his compatriot Dalot, Bruno Fernandes places a half-volley with the right foot from the entrance to the surface.
A nice goal that allows his team to take three additional points and relaunch in the league.
Obrigada Bruno.
De Gea remains imperial
No balls to report for the Spanish goalkeeper of Manchester United.
On the contrary, on the five shots on target of his opponents, none managed to shake his nets.
And when the latter was beaten, it was a back, a foot, a thigh from the Red Devils defense that caught up with the blow.
Anyway: clean sheet!
Adams stirring it
The Saints striker weighed almost alone on the Manchester United defense.
With a lot of desire, Che Adams multiplied the deep runs and the attempts to strike.
Unfortunately for Southampton, they only needed a little bit of success to score today... Nevertheless, his game and his relationship with Ward-Prowse on the pitch can point to a bright future for Ralph Hasenhuttl.
FLOPS
Rashford to absent subscribers
The Red Devils striker was the least in sight today.
He was perfectly held by Salisu and Bella-Kotchap who prevented him from holding the ball and expressing himself.
The Englishman won't score any valuable points in his start race with Cristiano Ronaldo, even though the Portuguese didn't do much better after coming on.
Elyounoussi remains silent
The Norwegian striker for the Saints was invisible today.
So much so that anyone who is able to remember one of their actions is a champion... Mohamed Elyounoussi also gave way to Armstrong in the 63rd minute.
A match to forget for the 28-year-old player.
