However, one player who shone right from the beginning was Amad Diallo, who consistently looked dangerous when he had possession.
Centredevils rated his performance a 9/10 for the match, a reflection of how instrumental he was throughout.
Amad registered his first assist of the season during the match, providing the pass that set up Marcus Rashford for his first goal of the 2024/25 campaign.
The 21-year-old winger is enjoying a breakout season, cementing his place as an indispensable starter for Manchester United.

The team’s lower tempo in the second half indicated that Amad still had more to offer if needed, further showcasing his potential to deliver under pressure.
The decision to leave him out of the starting lineup against Liverpool now seems questionable, given his impactful performance against Southampton.
Praise from former Chelsea player
Amad’s displays are catching the attention of critics and fans alike, even earning praise from typically hard-to-please pundits.
Jason Cundy, a former Chelsea player, praised the youngster’s first-half performance on Talksport, noting how he outshone the rest of the players on the pitch.
Cundy said: “You have three wide players right now. You have got Amad, you have got Rashford, you have got Garnacho.
“Amad first half, he was sensational. Even though United struggled, he looked he is going to be a hell of a player, by the way.”
Manchester United’s first goal came from Matthijs de Ligt, assisted by Bruno Fernandes after a well-executed corner.
Rashford’s opener was followed by Alejandro Garnacho’s third goal in injury time, courtesy of a Diogo Dalot cross.
