Southampton vs Man Utd player ratings: Fernandes shows class ... (iNews)

Manchester United enjoy back-to-back wins for first time under Erik ten Hag thanks to Bruno Fernandes' second-half strike at St Mary's.

Continued his aggressive approach and looks set for a run in the team after being named man of the match 8 He’s very good at holding the ball up and getting on the end of crosses. Adam Armstrong: A number of eye-catching dribbles to move away from pressure and carry ball forward. He’s a top player but they still need more. Casemiro is not going to change that fact. You get to 37 years of age, you’re not going to go sprinting away from people. Che Adams: Given a start after his match-winning double from the bench against Leicester. Won a free-kick after a cheeky nutmeg on McTominay and showed some nice turns away from pressure 7 James Ward-Prowse: Like watching a game of chess as he battled the similarly silky Eriksen. The ploy worked to perfection in the 55th minute. Tyrell Malacia: Tenacious presence at left-back despite majority of Southampton coming down his side. Despite the breakthrough, Southampton did not give in.

Man United edge past Southampton as Ten Hag's revolution takes ... (ESPN)

Bruno Fernandes proved to be Manchester United's match winner, scoring the only goal of the game in the victory against Southampton on Saturday.

[Harry Maguire](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/157073/Harry-Maguire) watched the entirety of this game from the bench as [Raphael Varane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/153053/Raphaël-Varane) and [Lisandro Martinez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233937/Lisandro-Martínez) showed more encouraging signs of forging an effective centre-back partnership together. [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364), given United had more of the ball (51% against [Southampton](/soccer/team?id=376) compared with 30% vs. [Napoli](/soccer/team?id=114) the latest club to hold talks. Man United win consecutive games for the first time since February (vs. With [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) closing in on the big-money signing of [Wesley Fofana](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/270190/Wesley-Fofana), could Leicester offer Maguire an escape route back to his former club? [Upcoming fixtures](www.espn.com/soccer/fixtures?league=eng.1) Ended with just 28 touches -- the fewest of any player to last 90 minutes -- and one shot. These remain formative days in the Ten Hag era, but another victory will give him more momentum to build on with [Leicester City](/soccer/team?id=375) up next on Thursday. Saturday's win was not emphatic, but United looked more organised and compact than they have done in many matches during that run, keeping a clean sheet on the road for the first time in any competition since December 2021 (against Norwich).

Fernandes sinks Saints as Man Utd maintain revival (The Sun Daily)

SOUTHAMPTON: Manchester United maintained their revival as Bruno Fernandes clinched a hard-fought 1-0 win at Southampton on Saturday. Erik ten Hag's s...

Southampton pushed for an equaliser but they were frustrated when a strong penalty appeal was rejected by VAR after McTominay handled as he challenged Adams for a high ball. Scott McTominay's drive tested Bazunu early in the second half, while Bella-Kotchap made a superb tackle to stop Elanga as he prepared to shoot after bursting through on goal. Bella-Kotchap should have made United pay for those misses when a corner fell to the Saints defender, but he somehow contrived to shoot high into the stands from close-range.
