As part of the 21st day of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted bottom-placed Southampton this Thursday at Old Trafford. 15th at kick-off and after four consecutive matches in the league without the slightest success, Rúben Amorim's men had to raise their heads. A start to the evening which, however, proved very chaotic for the Mancunians. First saved by an exceptional double save from André Onana (28th), the Red Devils finally cracked just before the break. On a corner hit on the left, Ugarte deflected the ball from behind to the near post and surprised his own goalkeeper, beaten after a sparkling first act (0-1, 43rd).

Trailing, Bruno Fernandes' teammates tried to react after returning from the locker room but lacked precision in the final meters, like new entrant Antony, guilty of an incredible miss (59th). Finally, Amad Diallo equalized (1-1, 82nd) ​​before giving victory to his team by scoring two new goals (90th, 90+4th). With this resounding hat-trick from the Mancunian crack and this success (3-1), Manchester United moved up to 12th place. The Saints always bring up the rear. A little earlier in the evening, Brighton defeated Ipswich thanks to two goals from Kaoru Mitoma (59th) and Georginio Rutter (82nd). In the ranking, Fabian Hurzeler's troops climb to 9th place. Ipswich are 18th.
