Joshua Zirkzee has delivered the perfect one-word verdict on Manchester United's 3-1 win over Southampton.

Ruben Amorim's team struggled for the majority of Thursday night's contest at Old Trafford. The Saints, who sit bottom of the Premier League table, went 1-0 up from a corner after a Manuel Ugarte own goal. The Reds were indebted to Andre Onana, who made several good saves in the first half.

Amad Diallo then stepped up late on with a 12-minute hat-trick to secure a vital three points. United's victory is their first in the top-flight since beating Manchester City 2-1 on December 15.

And now Zirkzee, who came on in the second half to make his own contribution, has offered his verdict on social media. "Amadness," he said on Instagram, alongside a picture of him celebrating with Amad.

Speaking in the mixed zone after the game, United's match-winner Amad said: "I feel very good, so happy to score my first hat-trick, especially at Old Trafford, but the most important thing is the win together as a team because we need that confidence and we have to keep going like this.

"I'm trying to do my best every game, I'm trying to follow the system of the manager.

"I'm here to help this team because we need this confidence and want to win every match. If I score, I'm so happy, but for me the most important thing is the win as a team."

United are next in action at home to Brighton on Sunday afternoon (2pm). The Reds will then host Rangers in their penultimate Europa League league phase match on Thursday night (8pm).
