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.
Although Ten Hag is still missing Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Daniel Gore and Mason Mount, I think Manchester United has the potential to maintain consistency. Because in the next 3 matches, the Red Devils will face relatively easy opponents, namely Barnsley, Crystal Palace and Twente. So they should be able to create good momentum, besides a number of injured players will be available again later. If the 3 matches are successfully overcome perfectly, then the journey to face tough opponents like Porto and Tottenham will feel easier. The victory over Southampton has made the players confidence better, and made the manager breathe a sigh of relief. There is no other way for Ten Hag to maintain his position, other than leading his team to victory in every competition. Tickets to the Champions League and the Europa League trophy sound realistic to achieve if he continues to perform consistently.
