“We knew playing against Southampton away is not easy. We have experienced that already in the last few years. Obviously, we had a great game. Sometimes we know we have to suffer. This is the Premier League, every game is tough, so well done to us, great job. We won the game, three points. A massive three points for us, now we have to carry on.” *Speaking to BT Sport.
“It was a great ball, obviously. Great play from behind. I think Anthony [Elanga] when he got the ball everything was perfect. I think it was Marcus [Rashford] or Jadon [Sancho] who made the run on the goal and got the space for me. This is what we work; someone runs, someone gets the space behind. We did it well, so well done to everyone, not just to me.”
“It’s important because one win doesn’t make the league and two wins doesn’t make the league. We have to carry on this spirit and this sacrifice that we’ve had in the last two games. We have to carry on for the rest of the season. This is what this club demands. All the players know that, we show that, and I think after Liverpool everyone could feel it. We said it today before the game. We set the standard, so we have to carry on now and if we can, improve it.”

"It was a difficult skill to put it away. I don't think he struck it particularly cleanly, but it was more than enough to fire it into the bottom corner and give the goalkeeper no chance."

The Reds earn a big victory on the south coast, with Bruno Fernandes's sublime volley in the second half the difference between the two teams. United were made to battle against a threatening Saints side, but Erik ten Hag's side stood firm to take a vital three points back to Manchester.
