Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United’s trip to in-form Southampton in the Premier League. Domestically, United are taken one step forward, and two steps back this season, but all is not lost, with two wins from their two games in hand over leaders Liverpool taking them within two points of the champions. Getting those two wins, however, will be a tall order, starting today at high-flying Southampton, who can beat anyone on their day.

44'
United piling forward at the end of the half. A goal now...
42'
Great game this. Saints are pressing for more, with United looking shaky.
40'
Next goal is crucial here. United have posed a real threat in attack, and could be galvanised by a goal, whereas conceding another would surely kill them off.

He is JWP's idol...
38'
De Gea is getting some treatment now. He seemed to injure his knee is trying to save that free-kick from Ward-Prowse.
-
An expert.
36'
SAVE! De Gea keeps United in it as he keeps out a strike from Moussa Djenepo.
34'
He spends so much time on the training ground practicing those, and it really does make perfect, as Ward-Prowse curls a quite brilliant free-kick just inside the post. De Gea just cannot get there.
33'
GGGGGGGOOOOOOAAALLLLLL!!!! Southampton 2-0 Man Utd. My word, what a strike from Ward-Prowse. United look stunned!

Free-kick to Saints right on the edge of the penalty area. Ward-Prowse territory.
30'
DOUBLE SAVE! Miraculous from McCarthy! Awful pass from the goalkeeper is cut out by Greenwood, he hammers the ball for goal, McCarthy saves, Fernandes is on hand to tuck home the rebound, only for McCarthy to spring across to deny Fernandes too. Incredible.
28'
POST! What a big moment that could be. Kyle Walker-Peters drills for the bottom corner, it takes a deflection, seems to be heading in, but it flicks the post and goes behind for a corner.
-
Makes all the difference.
26'
No need to panic for United here. They have a great record of coming back against Saints, and they are playing well.
24'
All about the delivery from Ward-Prowse from the corner. De Gea does not know whether to come or stay, and Bednarek pounces to head his first of the season at the near post.
23'
GGGGGOOOOOAAALLLLL!!!! Southampton 1-0 Man Utd. Very much against the run of play, Jan Bednarek heads home to give Saints the lead!
22'
Better from Saints as several cross come into the United box and cause problems.
20'
Finally, 20 minutes in, and Saints are enjoying some possession.
-
The hosts are not afraid to leave their foot in...
18'
Referee Moss brings the play back to book Ward-Prowse for a foul on Van de Beek in the build-up to the move that saw Fernandes strike the post.

POST! Super effort from Fernandes, seconds after coming back on, as he beats McCarthy from distance, but sees his strike clip the post.
