Fernandes Sinks Southampton 1-0 as Manchester United Maintain Revival | Watch Highlights
Manchester United maintained their revival as Bruno Fernandes’s right-footed shot helped the Red Devils clinch a hard-fought 1-0 win at Southampton on Saturday.
As reported by The Score, Erik ten Hag’s side sat bottom of the Premier League after losing their opening two games against Brighton and Brentford.
But United have recovered from that embarrassing start to secure successive league victories for the first time since February.
Fernandes netted with a composed strike early in the second half and the Portugal midfielder’s first goal this season lifted United into sixth place ahead of the rest of the weekend’s matches.
Ten Hag named the same starting line-up that defeated Liverpool 2-1 on Monday, meaning unsettled star Cristiano Ronaldo and club captain Harry Maguire were both on the bench.
Ronaldo, keen to leave Old Trafford before the transfer window closes on September 1, was largely anonymous when he came on for the last 20 minutes.
Casemiro helped United close out the win as the Brazil midfielder made his debut in a 10-minute substitute appearance following his move from Real Madrid.
