Manchester United secured a second successive league victory of the season, after a slim 1-0 win against Southampton at the St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday’s early kick-off fixture.
The opening period finished goalless despite United starting on the front foot, although the game faded into a drab affair until Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes connected with a pullout from Diogo Dalot in the 55th minute to put Erik ten Hag’s side ahead and ultimately handed the Red Devils their first victory on the road this campaign.
Meanwhile, £60 million pounds signing from Real Madrid Casemiro also made his debut for the club as he came on in the second half.
