United had 7 different scorers on the night against a Saints team who were completely out of sorts. Goals from Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Daniel James and an own goal by Jan Bednarek completed Manchester United’s romp.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with his side’s performance, and hailed two of his forwards, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial, in particular.
The Frenchman has come under a lot of criticism lately, due to his performances, but scored a brace against Southampton, which would have helped his confidence.
Solskjaer told BBC Sport after the game:
When asked about Anthony Martial’s display, the Manchester United boss said,
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was also asked about the performance of the team as a whole and what it means for the title race. He replied saying:
Manchester United face Everton on Sunday, as they look to chase down league leaders Manchester City.
Manchester United still have some work to do in the Premier League
Yesterday’s win against Southampton took Manchester United level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows that his side will need to string together a few wins if they are to challenge for the title.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently on top of the Premier League with two games in hand over the Red Devils. City don’t look like they are slowing down anytime soon and are currently on a 12-game win streak. To top things off, Guardiola’s team are also unbeaten in their last 19 games in all competitions.
