New signing Matthijs de Ligt grabbed his first goal for Manchester United while Marcus Rashford scored for the first time since March in a 3-0 Premier League victory at Southampton on Saturday after a shaky start to the season.

Alejandro Garnacho added a late goal for Erik ten Hag's side who started the day 14th in the standings after back-to-back losses. They now have six points from four matches while newly promoted Southampton remain without a point.

Southampton dominated early on but squandered a chance to take the lead in the 34th minute after United goalkeeper Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer's poor penalty, sparking an immediate shift in momentum at St Mary's Stadium.

A minute later, De Ligt headed in a sumptuous ball from Bruno Fernandes. Rashford, who had gone 13 games without a goal, then ended his drought with a diagonal shot from outside the 18-yard-box to the far corner in the 45th. The hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 79th minute when defender Jack Stephens was sent off for a high tackle on Garnacho.

Ten Hag confirms Man United injury latest after win over Southampton

15:23 , Jonathan Gorrie

Erik ten Hag was delighted with Matthijs de Ligt following Manchester United’s win over Southampton.

The defender endured a difficult international break during which he was heavily criticised for making mistakes for the Netherlands but scored in United’s 3-0 win on the south coast on Saturday.

Saints had bossed most of the game in the first half and were offered the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after Diogo Dalot brought down Tyler Dibling. Andre Onana, however, then saved a tame effort from Cameron Archer before De Ligt opened the scoring with a header after a recycled corner.

"It's important for the team to win the game and we know we've already lost two games.

Erik ten Hag responds to Cristiano Ronaldo's Man United dig

10:16 , Jonathan Gorrie

Addressing comments made by Cristiano Ronaldo in an interview with fellow United legend Rio Ferdinand, Erik ten Hag kept things brief and cordial with a player he had issues with prior to his exit in December 2022.

"He said that Manchester United can’t win the Premier League. He said this if you read the article very well. He's far away in Saudi, far away from Manchester. Everyone can have an opinion. It's okay."

The 32-year-old star arrived from Real Madrid shortly after the Dutchman's appointment in 2022 and enjoyed an impressive start to life at Old Trafford.

Manchester United team news vs Southampton today

10:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

Manchester United could hand Manuel Ugarte a Premier League debut at Southampton today.

The Uruguayan midfielder finally completed his long-awaited £50.5million switch from Paris-Saint Germain on deadline day but was not registered in time to make his club debut in the hugely disappointing 3-0 home loss to Liverpool on September 1.

However, he could feature at the St Mary’s Stadium, either from the start or off the bench as Erik ten Hag looks to secure a much-needed victory.

If he does not start, it will be a question of whether the Dutchman gives Casemiro an immediate opportunity to atone for his errors against Liverpool or puts his faith in youngster Toby Collyer.

Elsewhere, few other changes are expected, with United’s injury list not reducing over the international break. Neither Rasmus Hojlund or Luke Shaw are likely to be involved against the newly promoted Saints.

Matthijs de Ligt will continue at the back alongside Lisandro Martinez, while Amad Diallo could come in for one of Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho.

Ten Hag’s side are in desperate need of a goalscoring touch, having netted just twice in their opening three league games, one of which came from the Ivory Coast winger, and the other from Joshua Zirkzee, who will lead the line on the south coast.

For Southampton, summer signing Aaron Ramsdale will continue in goal with Gavin Bazunu out until 2025 at least with a ruptured Achilles.

Ryan Fraser could come into contention after his move from Newcastle, but Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ross Stewart remain doubts. Maxwel Cornet may make his debut.
