Player Ratings: Manchester United 3-2 Southampton
Ole Gunnar Solslkjaer remains unbeaten in the Premier League with Manchester United as the Red Devils rioted over Southampton to win 3-2 in a dramatic fixture that had to wait until late to be settled.
Let us have a look at how the players fared during their first home win in three games across all competitions:
David De Gea- 5.3
Poor showing and he could have done a little bit more to try and properly save both the goals.
Ashley Young- 7.1
Decent showing from the Englishman but he was lucky to not have his fouls caught and give away a penalty. It was his reckless tackle that led to the Saints attaining the free-kick that made it 2-2.
Chris Smalling- 6.6
Felt fatigued and heavy-footed for much of the game and failed to organize the defensive coherence that United were displaying as of recent.
Victor Lindelof- 6.9
Not his best showing, but he still did no errors during the game. Was hesitant in going forward in this one.
Luke Shaw- 7.2
Brilliant flank runs and was crucial in the creation of numerous chances that more or less always ended in Lukaku and Rashford falling just short of scoring.
Andreas Pereira- 8.0
A goal, an assist and a first-class performance in a United shirt. He may have just ensured more gametime in the near future.

Scott McTominay- 7.7
Another silent but vital presence in the game. Did little wrong and could potentially give Matic a run for his gametime.
Paul Pogba- 6.6
His late penalty-miss aside, the Frenchman had a rather uninvolved game and looked little like his usual attacking and chance-taking self.
Romelu Lukaku- 8.8
The unequivocal man of the match and a returning hero. This was his second consecutive brace and he may have just secured a position versus PSG.
Marcus Rashford- 7.0
Came painstakingly close to scoring on far too many occasions. Tough luck?
Alexis Sanchez- 6.3
The worst Red Devil on the pitch and an injury to make matters worse. Is this the beginning of the end for Sanchez?

Substitutions
Diogo Dalot- 8.0
Instant impact and a crucial assist. He is making a big case for more gametime in the coming matches.
Fred- 7.0
Though underwhelming in his showing, his deft pass was at the heart of Lukaku’s winner and as of such he too qualified as a Solskjaer super-sub.
Tahith Chong – Brought on too late to make an impact.
