End of 2nd Half
90+4'
That's it, full time. A disarmingly simple win for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United. This - indeed any - game could be lost by Van Gaal last season, but the signs are that this iteration aren't going to muck about anymore. Pogba and Ibrahimovic looked class, Rooney and Fellaini looked like footballers, however limited. Southampton have much to do to reach the heights of last season. They miss Mane and Pelle.
90+3'
The ball is rolled into the path of Pogba after a run from Ibrahimovic opens up space for Mkhitaryan to pass into, but he drills his effort wide.

There's about 10 minutes left, and United haven't changed their fullbacks. It must be a disorientating change from the Van Gaal era.
79'
Martial tries to slide in Ibrahimovic, but it's overhit. Martial is struggling to find his rhythm.
76'
A United sub - Mata for Mkhitaryan.

Long meets a cross at the near post, and his glancing header is only a little wide of the far post.
72'
Ibrahimovic is hacked by Van Dijk, but nobody makes an enormous fuss once the foul is given.
70'
Far too early to say yes, plenty of reasons to say no. The squad is still average in many areas.

Mata curls in the corner, Pogba leaps to meet and sends it just a yard or two over.
