Reds react to Saints triumph
Manchester United players were in predictably positive mood after we claimed a second Premier League win of the campaign away at Southampton.
Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho scored the goals that won us the day on the south coast, while Andre Onana saved a first-half penalty.
It was the first goal scored in United colours by De Ligt – winner of our Man of the Match poll – and he was praised by his team-mates in the aftermath.
“Great fight from the team today and a deserved three points, Carabao Cup next,” De Ligt wrote on Instagram, with Kobbie Mainoo, Amad and Lisandro Martinez among those to leave complimentary comments.
“Many more to come,” added captain Bruno Fernandes, posting on his Instagram story, referencing the Dutchman’s first goal for the club.

On his own Instagram account, Bruno posted: “A good three points away from home.”
Our captain's compatriot Diogo Dalot was similarly pleased in delivering his thoughts on social media, with particular praise for our travelling fans: “Good performance and result, get home safe Reds. Amazing support."
Also posting on Instagram, Joshua Zirzkee described the day’s work as a ‘good afternoon.’ Meanwhile, Amad posted an image of him and fellow forward Rashford, using the salute emoji, referencing his team-mate’s customary celebration.
There were more celebratory images posted by Garnacho, including his celebration with Amad after he rounded off the scoring for the day.
It was a day to remember for Manuel Ugarte in particular, making his United debut on the south coast. “This journey has started,” wrote our new no.25. “Thanks to all the fans for the incredible support. Let’s go.”
