Southampton v Man Utd LIVE: Marcus Rashford scores in comfortable win to lift pressure on Erik ten Hag

45 mins: There were just eight minutes between Archer’s miss and Rashford’s goal, which put United 2-0 up. It could have got even worse for Southampton, but Ramsdale makes a brave block to deny De Ligt from the corner. The defending from Southampton was all over the place again following the set-piece.

There are four minutes of added time and the whistle can’t come soon enough for the hosts.

Oh that’s a huge goal for Marcus Rashford - his first for Manchester United since March! And it doubles Manchester United’s lead at St Mary’s!

How quickly this match has turned: moments before, Rashford had a shot saved down low by Ramsdale on the break, and the goal came from the corner.

United took it short, worked it to Rashford, and the forward’s low strike from the angle crept inside the post. The defending from Southampton was poor. Rashford was left unmarked.

A HUGE couple of moments for Manchester United!

Southampton could have been ahead. Instead, Bruno Fernandes swings in a stunning cross from a short corner and finds De Ligt at the back post.

The Dutch centre-back rises and nods a header across goal and into the far corner. His first goal for Manchester United, and just moments after that Cameron Archer miss.

33 mins: SAVED! Onana goes the right way and saves down low! Archer gets a chance on the rebound but the header is soft and Onana saves again!

TYLER DIBLING! What an impact from the 18-year-old winger! He beats Dalot with ease around the outside, and is chopped down by the full-back.

But was this inside or outside the box?!

It’s inside! VAR confirms it. Huge chance for Southampton to take the lead.

Cameron Archer will take it.

26 mins: Kobbie Mainoo is the first player in the book after handling the ball on the ground. Fernandes plays a loose pass and Mainoo is caught by Ugochukwu. After falling to the ground, Mainoo gathers the ball with his hands.

Down the other end, Dibling attacks Dalot and wins a free kick near the corner. And it leads to a chance! Ugochukwu is left unmarked, and heads over from eight yards! Big chance.

23 mins: Dalot is struggling at left back, and the rampaging Sugawara is able to cut inside him with ease. The full-back bends a cross towards the back post, and it takes an important clearance from De Ligt to cut out the danger with Archer lurking.

19 mins: It’s end-to-end stuff now at St Mary’s. Walker-Peters wriggles past De Ligt on the byline to set up a chance for Archer, until United clear.

Down the other end, Fernandes makes the break but drags his shot wide on his left foot.

15’ CHANCE! United with their best move of the day - and they should be ahead! Eriksen puts in a clever ball, sliding across the face of goal, and it finds Joshua Zirkzee six yards out! Stretching, Zirkzee makes contact but can’t get enough onto it to trouble Ramsdale, who collects.

Should be 1-0.

Moments later, Mazraoui hits a volley from a cleared corner, but it’s straight at Ramsdale.

12 mins: United can’t get out, or keep the ball. Southampton keep coming, as Walker-Peters feeds a ball into Archer in the box. De Ligt gets over and is forceful in the tackle, but Southampton maintain their attacking momentum.

United need some control.
