Southampton vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Bruno Fernandes’s goal

54 mins: Fantastic defending! Eriksen slides the ball into the box for Elanga who takes a couple of touches and weaves through the back line.

Bella-Kotchap lunges at the ball and wins possession just as Elanga is lining up at shot and the attack breaks down for Man Utd.

Bella-Kotchap is suffering after that tackle though, he needs a breather and it’ll be a huge loss if Southampton lose him.

51 mins: Moussa Djenepo dinks the ball past Diogo Dalot and looks to drive around the right-back who body checks him and picks up the first yellow card of the game.

James Ward-Prowse swings the resultant free kick into the box and Armel Bella-Kotchap’s flick on comes straight through to David De Gea.

48 mins: Jadon Sancho flicks the ball onto Bruno Fernandes who wants to pick out Rashford in the middle of the box but Romeo Lavia scuttles across and nicks the ball off him.

United come again with Scott McTominay darting into the box. He receives the ball and blasts at effort at goal that Gavin Bazunu palms behind for a goal kick.

No changes for either team at half-time. On BT Sport Paul Scholes is calling for Cristiano Ronaldo to come on and be a focal point for United’s attack.

The visitors get the match back underway.

What’s in store for the next 45 minutes? A Man Utd win away from home? Southampton’s second victory in a row? A goalless draw?

We’ll find out soon...

Erik ten Hag will be telling his players to step it up in the second half. They’ve been okay and have shown more discipline than against Brighton and Brentford but Southampton have created a lot of chances.

There’s firepower on the bench though and Cristiano Ronaldo will be itching to get on the pitch.

Nothing to separate the teams after a close contest in the first half at St Mary’s.

45 mins: Aribo brings down McTominay just outside his own box and Man Utd have a great chance to open the scoring just before half-time.

Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford stand over the dead ball before Rashford drifts away. Fernandes takes it and shoots but the Southampton wall is a big one and they keep it out.

There’s no added time and the teams head into the break all square.

42 mins: Bruno Fernandes fizzes a cross into the box from wide on the right wing and tries to pick out the run of Jadon Sancho who’s cut into a more central position.

The cross doesn’t reach him though as Mohammed Salisu deals with it and Southampton regain possession.

Man Utd could do with half-time. They need a reset.

39 mins: Chance! Che Adams forces David De Gea into another sharp save with an effort from the right side of the box. The Southampton forward looks hungry for goals today. Manchester United are having to defend more than they’ll be comfortable with.

This has been a good performance from the Saints.
