Marcus Rashford on target as Man United earn comfortable win

New signing Matthijs de Ligt grabbed his first goal while Marcus Rashford scored for the first time since March in Manchester United’s 3-0 Premier League victory at Southampton on Saturday.

Alejandro Garnacho added a late goal for Erik ten Hag’s side who started the day 14th in the table after back-to-back losses. They now have six points from four matches while newly promoted Southampton remain without a point.

Southampton dominated early on but squandered a chance to take the lead in the 34th minute after United goalkeeper André Onana saved Cameron Archer’s poor penalty, sparking an immediate shift in momentum at St. Mary’s Stadium.

A minute later, De Ligt headed in a sumptuous ball from Bruno Fernandes. Rashford, who had gone 13 games without a goal, then ended his drought with a diagonal shot from outside the 18-yard-box to the far corner in the 45th minute.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 79th minute when defender Jack Stephens was sent off for a high tackle on Garnacho.
