Manchester United won 3-1 against Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday night.

United secured an excellent triumph over Arsenal with 10 men in the FA Cup third round last weekend, winning on penalties, and their momentum just about continued in the Premier League.

Southampton took the lead before half-time from a corner when Manuel Ugarte scored an own-goal, turning the ball beyond Andre Onana after a clever flick from Tyler Dibling.

United struggled for most of the match but equalised in the 82nd minute through Amad, who lashed home at the Stretford End to set up a grandstand finish to the contest.

Amad has been outstanding and scored another two goals to secure a 3-1 victory for United, which was an unthinkable scoreline for most of the match as those in red shirts struggled.

Here are the moments you might have missed from the game:

Amad saves the day again

Amad has been sensational this season and he single-handedly won the game against Southampton, scoring three goals in the final 10 minutes of the match to complete an unlikely comeback.

The 22-year-old couldn't stop smiling after the final whistle. He soaked it up and had the match ball tight by his side, which should be given a prominent spot in his home.

Amorim went straight down the tunnel because he wants his players and staff to be given the plaudits instead of himself, which is a refreshing approach.

Amorim's conversation with Antony

Southampton went ahead just before half-time after an own-goal from Ugarte and Amorim had to make changes, but it was a surprise to see Antony warm up during the interval.

Antony replaced Kobbie Mainoo for the second half - United had lost the midfield battle - and lined up on the right side, which saw Bruno Fernandes drop back into a midfield role.

Amorim came out of the dressing room earlier than usual and spent a minute giving detailed tactical instructions to Antony, using his hands to convey how he wanted him to operate.

You know you're in trouble when you're turning to Antony to get you back into a game and the Brazilian missed a sitter shortly after coming on. Antony had the goal at his mercy when a cross was pulled back, but his connection was poor and it was easily gathered by Aaron Ramsdale.

Amorim lost his patience with Hojlund

Amorim might have a smile on his face more often than not, but he is a ruthless coach and he hooked Rasmus Hojlund just minutes into the second half when he lost another aerial duel.

Hojlund's hold-up play was abysmal and he was bullied by the inexperienced Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jan Bednarek, who seemed to win every ball that was punted forward.

Finally, Amorim decided he'd seen enough when Hojlund couldn't make the ball stick in the 49th minute and United's head coach responded by replacing him with Joshua Zirkzee.

Hojlund is a long-term project, but supporters are beginning to grow impatient with him and he needs to do more off the ball, as he is offering little to nothing when he leads the attack. Zirkzee was brilliant when he came on and will have a strong case to start against Brighton on Sunday.

Hojlund angry with Garnacho

Southampton went toe-to-toe with United in the opening 20 minutes of the match and had the better chances until Hojlund created a golden opportunity for Alejandro Garnacho.

Hojlund demonstrated his pace and strength on the left, brilliantly driving into the box and picking out Garnacho with a pull back, but the young winger fired his shot wide of the post.

"What the f****** hell was that?" responded the Southampton fans and Hojlund lashed out by kicking the woodwork and throwing his hands up. Although the angle was tight for Hojlund, he could have gone for goal himself but he chose to pick out Garnacho for a better chance of scoring.

Such reactions are normal in elite football but it was ironic that Hojlund was so upset by Garnacho missing a chance when he isn't prolific and his performance on Thursday poor.

Fernandes' hug with Bayindir

Altay Bayindir was the man of the moment in United's heroic win against Arsenal at the weekend but moved to the bench against Southampton. Andre Onana is the No.1 goalkeeper and starts each Premier League game, although Bayindir might have still felt unfortunate to be dropped.

If Bayindir was feeling any frustrated, he would have been cheered up by Bruno Fernandes in the dressing room, as the United captain made a beeline for him as he entered the inner sanctum.

Fernandes shared a warm embrace with Bayindir and the pair exchanged a few words. Fernandes is an excellent leader, despite what some critics might suggest, and approaching Bayindir when he'd been named on the bench was a nice touch and clearly appreciated by the Turkey international.

Onana hasn't had any pressure on his position since he signed from Inter Milan and Bayindir's performance against Arsenal can only be a good thing for the competition in the goalkeeper unit.

Ratcliffe attends the game

Sir Jim Ratcliffe attended his first game of 2025 and showed his face at Old Trafford for the first time since November 10 when United comfortably won 3-0 against Leicester City.

The ticket debacle kicked off in that month and United fans subsequently protested against the scrapping of concessions for Premier League matches. Ratcliffe's decision to increase ticket prices to £66 was described as a "kick in the teeth" and his popularity has plummeted because of it.

Hopefully a fan had the chance to ask Ratcliffe why he thought £66 tickets were acceptable as he entered the ground. Ratcliffe attempted to explain his controversial decision in an interview with United We Stand magazine but his reasoning didn't wash and added more fuel to the fire.

Although United supporters were excited to see Ratcliffe attend matches last season, he is no longer a face that fans want to see and will have to make amends by making better decisions.
