Having been humiliated 4-0 at Brentford two weeks ago, United responded with an impressive home victory over rivals Liverpool on Monday night and were looking to build on that momentum in the sunshine on the south coast this weekend.
After an even start, a flowing United move 10 minutes into the second half ended with Fernandes applying a brilliant finish to Diogo Dalot’s cross (55) to seal back-to-back wins for the visitors for the first time since February.
Southampton had their fair share of chances during the game, but United’s resolute defending and some smart saves from David de Gea – most notably to deny Joe Aribo an equaliser – kept the hosts out.

“There is a lot of room for improvement, that’s quite clear, but for me that is normal.”
The win sees United end a run of seven consecutive away defeats in the Premier League and extends their unbeaten streak against Southampton at St Mary’s to 15 games in all competitions. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team have won just one of their previous nine home matches in all competitions, losing seven.
