Man Utd player ratings: Amad single-handedly saves underwhelming Red Devils as Antony hits new low
MANCHESTER UNITED were once again saved by hat-trick hero Amad Diallo.
Southampton, who are bottom of the Premier League, caused the Red Devils several problems and were leading with ten minutes left.
But three moments of late brilliance from Amad earned United a stunning 3-1 win as the Ivorian winger took home the match ball.
Here is how SunSport rated the performances.
ANDRE ONANA: 8
Series of great first half saves - unlucky not to stop Ugarte’s own goal.

LENY YORO: 5
Still not seeing much of why at £57M he’s rated one of best young defenders in Europe.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT: 6
One central defender who properly looked like he knew what he was about.

LISANDRO MARTINEZ: 5
Struggled to exert any influence – not so much as a defender but a leader.
AMAD DIALLO: 9
Kept his cool when so many others are around him lost the plot to make himself a hero again.
MANUEL UGARTE: 4
Own goal summed up a serious first half no-show as part of a pitiful midfield.
KOBBIE MAINOO: 4
Replaced at the break – the only surprise being that if was Antony who took over.
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: 7
The best buy of ex-boss Erik ten Hag’s last big summer spend at just £12.7M
ALEJANDRO GARNACHO: 5
Terrible 20th minute miss but one of the few to show any real spark.
BRUNO FERNANDES: 5
Shouldn’t be captain. Undoubted flair, but just not dependable enough.
RASMUS HOIJLUND: 4
Brilliant pass for Garnacho to mess up but otherwise? No threat at all.
SUBS:
ANTONY (for Mainoo 46): 3
Awful 58th minute miss from one yard out.
ZIRKZEE ( Hoijlund 54): 4
Embarrassed himself with one miss-kick.
COLLYER (Ugarte 54): 5
Got stuck in at least.
ERIKSEN (Mazraoui 83): 5
Added a little craft.
