    Dennis Ethan : Martial is such a handful player in the box. Get IN!!

    Rishabh Kapoor : Martial wow. Has ice running through his veins. Cool as it gets. Composed like a carrebian beach. However LVG is not the man.

  3. CLOSE!published at 42 mins

    Southampton 1-1 Man Utd

    You have to score Morgan Schneiderlin.

    United work a quick free-kick; Memphis Depay to Juan Mata, who cuts the ball back to the Frenchman on the penalty spot, but his left-footed shot goes wide. 

    BIG chance! Maybe he didn't want to upset his old fans?

  4. CLOSE!published at 41 mins

    Southampton 1-1 Man Utd

    Memphis Depay can't control the ball inside the area and Juan Mata nearly nips in, but Virgil van Dijk has to stretch and clear the ball to safety. Home side under pressure now. How can they react?

    Rob Burroughs : Martial has now made Clyne, Skrtel, and van Dijk look very, very Sunday league.

    KayCee : it came from a patient build-up....35 minutes of it!

    Baidu Sheikh : Composure. Good finish. Not afraid with the ball at his feet. And selfish. Everything you want in a striker

    Southampton 1-1 Man Utd

    A lot of passes involved in that United equaliser, some poor defending from Southampton as well, and a neat finish from Anthony Martial (number nine).

    Southampton 1-1 Man Utd

    Nicely poised this game now, the goal has knocked the stuffing out of Southampton and they are just dropping a little bit deeper in order to get through to half time.

    United will be much the happier side if it stays like this until the interval.

    Southampton 1-1 Man Utd

    A new Red Devils hero has arrived. You can see why people make the Thierry Henry comparisons, he's got ice running through his veins inside the penalty area. So cool, calm and collected.

    To be honest, United didn't deserve that, but that's four goals from their last four shots on target. Clinical stuff.

    "This is deja vu. It's absolutely what happened last year. It's a brilliant bit of play by Martial. It was a bit fortunate how the ball gets to him but it's a wonderful finish. It's their first shot on target.

    "It doesn't cover over the performance, though. I've got to say."

    GOAL - Southampton 1-1 Man Utdpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 20 September 2015

    Anthony Martial (35 mins)

    Where did that come from?

    It's that lad again! Southampton make a hash of clearing the ball and it eventually played to Juan Mata through on goal, but he's tackled.

    The ball rolls nicely for Anthony Martial, who turns Virgil van Dijk inside out, before calmly finishing.

    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    Such slow build-up from United, all very pedestrian and easy to defend against. Lots of passing from right to left but they are not going anywhere. Where's the penetration?

  12. Where's the money gone?published at 16:33 British Summer Time 20 September 2015

    Southampton 1-0 Manchester United

    Steve Claridge
    BBC 5 live

    "It's probably the same question here as at Liverpool with all the money being spent. Where are we in the scheme of things?

    "Liverpool are rushing Daniel Sturridge back and Manchester United with Anthony Martial are force-feeling a 19-year-old into a really pressured situation after spending goodness knows how much money.

    "They are spending a lot of money and where's it all gone. They have spent all that money and are still chasing players and it should be all done."

    Again, Wayne Rooney gets a pass wrong and United have to retreat before starting a move again. The visitors have not tested Maarten Stekelenburg yet. The Dutchman has had an easy afternoon so far.

    Anthony Martial showing great pace to burst forward, but his pass towards Memphis Depay is wayward and Maya Yoshida picks it out with ease.

    Again, Graziano Pelle shields the ball well from the opposition defenders, receiving warm applause from the home fans for his excellent work.

    United starting to feel the pressure. Wayne Rooney flaps the air after a mis-placed pass. Another foul, this time from Morgan Schneiderlin, who goes into the back of Victor Wanyama.

    Southampton have the opposition on the ropes, can they grab the second?

    Juan Mata, frustrated after failing to control a lovely crossfield ball from Wayne Rooney, trips Dusan Tadic while tracking back, but no card given. Much to the consternation of the home fans.

    Mathew Penistone : Ward-Prowse is a star. Sadly for Souhampton fans I can see him being the next player snapped up. Hope for your sake not soon.

    Paul Gibbons : United haven't progressed at all since last season still look so disjointed all over the pitch.

    Ben Peterson : There is honestly nothing I enjoy about watching this Man Utd team. Nothing.

  18. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 27 mins

    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    Just looking at a replay from the last incident, Marcos Rojo seems to barge Dusan Tadic inside the area, but the referee waved away claims for a penalty.

    It could have been given.

    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    Morgan Schneiderlin and Victor Wanyama go into each other while sliding for a 50-50 ball. No fuss from either player, both just get up and carried on.

    Striker Graziano Pelle is giving Daley Blind a torrid time, this time nicking the ball to feed Sadio Mane, who can't find Dusan Tadic with a pull back.

  20. CLOSE!published at 24 mins

    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    Chance! Juan Mata clips a ball to the far post for the onrushing Memphis Depay, but the Dutchman times his jump wrong and heads over the bar. He should have done better there. 

    This Southampton side haven't conceded in their last three games so you have to take every opportunity that comes your way.
