Perhaps Ten Hag realized his mistake. However, ten Hag could not find a suitable replacement for Hojlund. I think Hojlund's return to the squad will bring more stability to Manchester United's performance.
Sothampton is not a strong team. Currently, Southampton is in the relegation zone. I feel confident Man United will win and it happened. This condition does not describe Man United has improved. But the 3 points obtained made Man United move up the rankings.
I think Onana was the hero in this match. Onana was able to thwart Cameron Archer's penalty. It makes the mentality of the United players better. Furthermore, there is a gap of about 10 days, they will compete in the Europa League. They will fight Twente.
It would have been wonderful if Manchester united can continue with the kind of performance that tgey displayed yesterday at all time whether playing against big clubs or small clubs. Southampton just came back from relegation and I don't expect anything much from them.
Manchester united winning them waa a norm and a bonus point to united. Arsenal needs to step up their midfield and improve their team performance for their next match because it should be an important win for them to stay close to their rivals.
