Southampton
Stekelenburg - 6
Hardly involved in the game. Not to blame for any of the goals conceded.
Yoshida - 5
Horrendous back pass allowed Martial in for his second.
Fonte - 6
Barely involved in the opening half an hour. The more assured of the central defenders.
van Dijk - 5
Some indecision as he settled into a new defence. Clearly threatened by Martial in the second half.
Targett - 6
Replaced by Martina (6) at half time. Nothing of any note.
Wanyama - 6
Prevented United's midfield from getting a grip on the game in the first half. Solid display.
Romeu - 6
Safe and steady performance. Nothing special.
Mané - 7
Lively. Pace worried United back line and needed plenty of attention from Schneiderlin and Carrick in first half. Shocking dive with fifteen minutes to go.
Ward-Prowse - 7
Excellent deliveries gave United's defence plenty to think about in the first half. One of the home side's best performers.
Tadic - 6
Quiet on the whole but his excellent corner delivery in the second half nearly caused a Southampton leveller. Almost forced a late equaliser when he out-jumped Antonio Valencia.
Pellè - 7
Took goals well, but missed a glorious chance to make it 2-0 early on. Blind struggled to deal with him throughout the match.
Manchester United
De Gea - 8
Excellent save in the build up to first goal. Another stunning stop to deny a Fonte header in the second half. Further saves in injury time highlighted his worth to this United side.
Rojo - 6
Looked rusty first half as he stood in for Luke Shaw. Could've been nearer to cross that lead to opening goal. Replaced by McNair late on.
Blind - 6
Struggled with physical side of the game early on but enjoyed a much quieter second half.
Smalling - 7
Lacked recent composure at times in first half but steadied the ship as the game progressed. Also important in weathering a late Southampton onslaught.
Darmian - 6
Replaced by Antonio Valencia (6) at half time. A tactical change.
Schneiderlin - 6
A solid if unspectacular return to his old stomping ground.
Carrick - 6
Had to help out his defenders in the opening twenty minutes and gradually asserted more of his influence until being substituted by Schweinsteiger after an hour.
Memphis - 5
Struck a post which lead to Mata's third. Still not showing his best in the Premier League and set piece delivery is below his high standards.
Mata - 7
Marginally offside for United's equaliser, Mata calmly dispatched United's third. Composed in possession in the second half to help United gain a hold.
Rooney - 6
Dropping deep on his United return, Rooney struggled to influence the game in the first half
Martial - 8
Wonderful composure for United's leveller. Also displayed a cool head when slotting in the second. Early days, but looking like a lot of money well spent.
