00:00It's a home debut for Aaron Ramsdale, after his £25m move from Arsenal.
00:06Sainz have fielded about three from the start of all three league games so far,
00:10but there's a switch to a four today, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis left out.
00:1518-year-old Tyler Dibbling makes his fourth Premier League debut,
00:19so does 20-year-old Mateusz Fernandes,
00:21and Chelsea loanee Lesley Ugachukwu makes his first league appearance for the club.
00:26Cameron Archer is a fourth player in this XI to start their first Premier League game for Southampton,
00:31then Brian Diaz will drift out to the left.
00:35Harwood-Bellis, Erivo and Armstrong all drop to the bench,
00:38Smallbones out as well, he's got a hamstring injury,
00:41and new signings Korné and Fraser are involved for the first time.
00:49Eric Ten Haard names nine of the XI that started against Liverpool a fortnight ago.
00:53André Hernández, making the 350th appearance of his club career.
00:59Matthijs de Ligt keeps his place at centre-half after being taken off at half-time in the Netherlands game with Germany midway.
01:06Casemiro is left out, but it's Christian Eriksen that takes his place,
01:10with deadline day signing Manuel Ugarte on the bench.
01:14The other change is on the right, Ahmad, referred to Alejandro Garnacho,
01:18he's now made more starts than in the whole of last season.
01:22And Joshua Ziyechze leads the line.
01:27Ugarte is on the bench, Hoyland, Yoro, Shaw, Lindelof and Mount all still missing through injury.
01:34Stuart Atwell's the man taking charge of a Manchester United game for the first time in more than a year,
01:39Chris Kavanagh is the VAR.
01:43Three games in, three points between them, two clubs united by the fact that only improvement will suffice.
01:51It's a stretch for even the most optimistic Manchester United fan to claim that they would be at a side with the opening 25 minutes here.
02:08The first yellow card of the game is going to be Brandis Kobime in his way.
02:16He puts his hand on it here, tries to drag it back.
02:22Flanked it in, it's a good chance.
02:26It's Liudmila Csukwu, the player that had a free header for Southampton but couldn't keep it down.
02:31I've just talked about a lack of communication in that Man United defence, who's picking him up, who's marking him.
02:37Players in there looking around, nobody seems sure of who's doing that job.
02:43This has been a good opening half hour.
02:45This has been a good opening half hour.
02:49Dibbling, taking on Dalot and winning a penalty.
02:57Just the injection of pace, too good for him.
03:01Dalot dangled out of leg, brought Dibbling down and Southampton have the chance from the spot to take a deserved lead.
03:10That's been coming.
03:12Dibbling has been excellent down this right hand side.
03:15Dalot's been off it.
03:18The question is, was it inside the box or outside the box? Of course they'll check it.
03:23It's really tight.
03:25It may just have been on the line.
03:28But he's had the beating of Dalot every time he gets the ball.
03:32Willing to take his man on, wants to come inside on his left foot but has got the pace to go on the outside.
03:36Dalot couldn't live with him.
03:39And on the end of a follow-up as well, Southampton blowing a glorious opportunity.
03:56There it's a back four, Bruno Fernandes.
03:59Zirkzee the target and Ramsdell can't do anything about that.
04:04Matthijs de Ligt.
04:07Two minutes after a missed penalty at one end, a goal at the other.
04:13It could be a massive sliding goal.
04:17Two minutes after a missed penalty at one end, a goal at the other.
04:22It could be a massive sliding doors moment for Manchester United.
04:30And United respond.
04:32Excellent ball in, where's the marking, the queuing up at the far post.
04:36Zirkzee is behind de Ligt, who takes responsibility, guides his header into the corner.
04:43What a turnaround.
04:55In from Rashford and in.
04:59Goal drowned over.
05:01Manchester United out of nothing, have two in six minutes.
05:13Just potentially.
05:17A six minute spell against their season off and running.
05:21Such a precision finish from Marcus Rashford.
05:23You know he wants to get this on his right foot and get a shot away.
05:27He's allowed to do that, but he hasn't got a lot of room.
05:32He finds it though.
05:34Bends it, uses de Ligt.
05:36Squeezes it in between Ramsdale's left hand and that post.
05:41Kisses the post.
05:43United have doubled their lead.
05:51Back from Mazraoui.
05:52Oh, they've all made runs through, and it should be three.
05:55De Ligt with the effort.
05:57Ramsdale getting something on it.
06:01Well, it's an absolute two goals behind.
06:03Well, it's an absolute two goals behind.
06:05And Ramsdale's made some big saves in this game.
06:09And this is another one.
06:11How does this find its way through?
06:15He's onside.
06:18Brilliant from Ramsdale, so quick to smother the effort.
06:23Southampton nil, United two.
06:25Fernandes was in a great place if they could have found him on the right hand side of the penalty area.
06:34Southampton bring the ball forward.
06:36Mateusz Fernandes is the man that is brought down by Dalot, who gets a yellow card.
06:43There's a pullback from Ericsson.
06:46Both of them were guilty of trying to stop the opposition.
06:51Hamad, left foot.
06:53Xherxer with a touch that was a little bit too heavy.
06:56Invited Benrec to give it away.
06:58Rashford!
07:01Ramsdale with another fine start.
07:03Southampton more of a vocal hotbed at one end of the ground.
07:10And that's gone out of play for a throw.
07:11Bruno Fernandes kicking the ball away and he's going to get a yellow card.
07:18It's Iwara.
07:20Southampton play to score a Premier League goal so far this season.
07:24Nagar Nacho caught.
07:27That's an easy decision for the referee to book Stephens.
07:31Impatient, Nagar Nacho, too much for Stephens.
07:34Oh, it's red.
07:42But he's gone in late, high, over the top of the ball.
07:45And his studs showing. It isn't a great challenge.
07:48Initially, I thought a yellow was the right call.
07:51But on reflection and watching it back,
07:56there was no way he was allowing Nagar Nacho to get away from him.
07:58It was a really poor challenge from him.
08:01I don't think he can have too many complaints.
08:04Not even particularly sure that that borders towards referee's call.
08:08I think it's because of the height of the challenge
08:11and the fact that the studs were showing,
08:13whether there's any intent or not, it's academic.
08:17No, it's not a good challenge.
08:21Certainly no need for VAR to get involved.
08:29Southampton were poised to make their final change
08:32and might now have to change things as a defender like.
08:40Russell Martin picks up a yellow card for
08:43public proclamation of his thoughts about the red card decision.
08:48Now Dalot, can they set the seal on him with goal number three?
08:50They can indeed.
08:52Garnaccio wraps it up, three goals, three points
08:56and some welcome respite for Manchester United.
09:07Well, in many eyes, it was a must-win game for Eric ten Haarp.
09:13And his team have delivered.
09:14It took them a while to get going, but they found their stride.
09:19Garnaccio off the bench to put the seal.
09:21Dalot stays onside, picks out Garnaccio.
09:25It's a clinical finish.
09:28A powerful finish into the top corner.
09:32A good start for Southampton in the opening half an hour,
09:35but from the moment they missed the penalty,
09:37it's all gone wrong for them.
09:43Southampton's first points remain elusive.
09:45Their championship excellence yet to translate.
09:48Their championship excellence yet to translate to the biggest stage.
09:52It's finished Southampton nil, Manchester United three.
