On Saturday afternoon, Manchester United beat Southampton 3-0 in the Premier League, getting back on track.
It took the Red Devils a while to get going in the contest. With a penalty kick, the Saints could have scored first.
Cameron Archer was denied by Andre Onana’s magnificent save, which set the stage for a stunning comeback just before halftime.
Just a few minutes after Matthijs de Ligt scored United’s first goal, Marcus Rashford added to his tally. The goal came in the 35th minute.
Due to the Saints’ complete lack of offensive threat, the second half was dull for Manchester United.
To top it all off, Alejandro Garnacho was the performer. Following a beautiful pass from Diogo Dalot, he extended the lead to 3-0 with a few seconds remaining.
Lisandro Martinez was just as remarkable as De Ligt, who was named man of the match after scoring the game-winning goal.Despite a shaky start to the new season, the Argentine reverted to his finest performance today.
With a perfect record in duels and tackles, the 26-year-old quarterback completed 97% of his passes.
In addition to not committing a foul before being substituted, Martinez completed seven recoveries.
After he took a knock in the 79th minute, manager Erik ten Hag substituted Harry Maguire for him and said he will be evaluated.
United fans will be crossing their fingers that he will be able to play in next weekend’s league match at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.
Even if Martinez is declared ready to play, he will probably sit out Tuesday’s Carabao Cup third round match against Barsnley.
