Bournemouth 0-0 Manchester City, 20 minutes
It remains goalless at the Vitality Stadium, but David Silva should have put the visitors ahead after strong work from Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgian's cut back found Silva in space, but his crisply struck side-foot flew the wrong side of the post.
GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Southampton (Yan Valery, 26 minutes)
What! A! GOAL!
Young right-back Yan Valery has plenty of football ahead of him, but he'll score few better than that.
Valery unfurls a 25-yard drive from the right of the box, hit so cleanly, fading away from David de Gea's palms and flicking off the Spaniard's fingertips into the near top corner.
Sensational hit, and Southampton lead.
Bournemouth 0-0 Manchester City, 30 minutes
Bournemouth doing a good job so far in frustrating Manchester City, who endured a similar game in midweek, requiring a penalty to beat West Ham.
Manchester United 0-1 Southampton, 31 minutes
Good buildup from the home side as they look to get back on level terms, former Southampton man Luke Shaw whizzing a cross through the box but not finding a teammate in red.
Why don't you come on over, Valery? The young Frenchman has put Southampton ahead at Old Trafford in quite fantastic fashion.
Manchester United 0-1 Southampton, 36 minutes
A third big chance for Romelu Lukaku, a third big miss.
This time Angus Gunn is not required as the Belgian meets Andreas Pereira's excellent ball in with his head, directing it off target.
Manchester United 0-1 Southampton, 41 minutes
Another chance for Manchester United, Chris Smalling heading across goal, the spin of the ball always just taking it wide.
Marcus Rashford manages to retrieve and hook back across but Southampton just about clear.
Manchester United 0-1 Southampton, 42 minutes
Ryan Bertrand again appears to be fouled in the box, Ashley Young all over the Southampton left wing-back as Bertrand surges onto a bouncing ball.
The referee again ignores the visiting's side's appeals, who will feel hard done by.
