    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    If any team look like getting the second goal in this game, it's Southampton. They are in control at the moment, moving the ball around nicely. 

    James Ward-Prowse puts a cross into the box which Graziano Pelle heads over.

    Dusan Tadic pulling the strings for Southampton and the home side are in the mood.

    James Ward-Prowse with a first time outside-of-the-foot effort from the edge of the area but straight into the bread basket of David De Gea. Taken comfortably like a slip fielder.

    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    Nothing from Wayne Rooney so far, apart from a foul on a Southampton man. He has a word with referee Mark Clattenburg. 

    Rooney's last Premier League goal was back in April - while his last league goal away from home was at Arsenal last November!

    Anthony Martial with his first sniff at goal, spinning at the edge of the Southampton area, but his shot is wild and into the stands. He had more time there and could have taken the ball on.

    Southampton 1-0 Man Utd

    Shocking defending and United get away with one. Superb play from big man Graziano Pelle to turn Daley Blind on the edge of the area, before getting a low shot away that strikes the bottom of the post.

    Southampton can get at United here, their defence is looking very shaky early on in this game.

    GOAL - Southampton 1-0 Man Utdpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 20 September 2015

    Graziano Pelle (12 mins)

    It was coming!

    Great move from Southampton as Sadio Mane and James Ward-Prowse exchange passes. The Englishman then finds his team-mate in the box, who shoots but David De Gea makes a brilliant reflex save.

    The ball falls kindly forGraziano Pelleeight yards out, bang in front of goal and the Italian makes no mistake. St Mary's erupts, but where was the United defence?

    Southampton getting on top now. Dusan Tadic whips a lovely ball into the box from the left, which Marcos Rojo has to stretch to and concede a corner.

    First effort on goal. Smart build up from the home side as Graziano Pelle outmuscles Daley Blind to get the ball.

    It eventually reaches Serbian Dusan Tadic, who drags side shot wide of goal.

    Big Pelle getting the better of little Blind early on. A sign of things to come?

    Juan Mata with a long punt forward towards Anthony Martial, but the Frenchman is never going to win that against the tall, strong Dutchman Virgil van Dijk.

    No chances yet for either side. United playing their possession game.

    Southampton 0-0 Man Utd

    Steady start from United, but neither Wayne Rooney nor Anthony Martial have been able to get on the ball yet.

    Sadio Mane, with an extravagant haircut, makes his first foray forward for the home side which comes to nothing.

    I wouldn't be able to pull that one off, shaved round the sides with a blond strip through the middle. My mum wouldn't let me into the house.

    Southampton right-back for the day Maya Yoshida and United full-back Marcos Rojo will be happy to be in their positions today as a wide shadow from the stadium roofing is providing shade for them in the sun.

    Morgan Schneiderlin on the ball for the away side, but no boos from the crowd which is good to see.

    Two minutes in and United already trying to exert their authority, looking to get the ball down and play their patient style of play.

    The travelling fans are in fine voice and reminding everyone how many times they have won the league title.

    Stephen Ankers : Man Utd to get on foot straight away with a good Southampton team. Key will be martial and Rooney link up, if this happens?

    I am Stan :Rooney playing off Martial will be a deadly duo

    The two Dutch managers share a word before taking their seats. Wonder what they were saying. "You coming for a drink after?"

    Huddles and handshakes done. Southampton get us under way at St Mary's Stadium.
