MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER RATINGS: David De Gea 7. Ten men Saints tried to lean on the Spaniard on a corner but that was the only threat. Rarely troubled until Adams put the ball past him, invoking his fury, but VAR meant the clean sheet remained. AFP

Aaron Wan Bissaka 8. Put United ahead after 18 minutes with his second goal of the season after losing Ings. Got forward, made crosses which he’d been asked to do and did so with confidence. One of his best games of the season. AP
