The win lifted United to 12th in the table, while Southampton \u2013 who still have just one win in the 2024\/25 campaign \u2013 remain 10 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the league.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The first half saw United come off worse from a relatively end-to-end affair, when Manuel Ugarte deflected a Saints corner into his own net, a couple of minutes before the break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Southampton proved difficult opponents to break down, especially with a one-goal advantage behind them, but Amad came up trumps in our time of need. Our no.16 finally managed to breach Aaron Ramsdale's goal in the 82nd minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Not content with a point, the Ivorian went back for more with stoppage time approaching, poking home a Christian Eriksen pass in front of the Stretford End, before adding a third with seconds left on the clock, single-handedly rescuing the win for the Reds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We didn't have a good game, but at this moment, winning is the most important thing. They did a very good job Southampton. The feeling is we have so much to do - the team is really tired. Today was not a lack of enthusiasm; it was a lack of control in the game,\" United manager Ruben Amorim said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Man Utd are now unbeaten in each of their last 16 Premier League meetings with Southampton (W 8 D 8), their joint-longest ongoing run against an opponent in the competition (also 16 v Charlton).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
