Eric Bailly brilliant vs Southampton
Man Utd vs Southampton gave Jose Mourinho another three points but they had
to work hard for it at times.
David de Gea - 6
Too reluctant to come off his line at times but kept steadily at a stadium
where his past heroics won United points. Was not tested as stringently on
his fourth appearance at St Mary's.
Antonio Valencia - 6
Not as adventurous as usual and did little to effect United's attack. More
adept in his own third, where he was solid.
Eric Bailly - 8
Rectified his positioning after a careless start and provided good cover.
Gobbled up most of Southampton's knock-downs.
Phil Jones - 8 (今天中衛組合守得不錯
Southampton exposed him with a couple of aerial deliveries but Jones was
unflustered and defended stoutly yet again.
Ashley Young - 7 (best crosser!!!! 傳中對於現在的巨人隊身高很重要啊
He remains United's best crosser and is the interim solution at left-back
after another fine performance. Assisted Romelu Lukaku's goal and might get
an England recall on this form.
Nemanja Matic - 6
United missed Paul Pogba but Matic stepped up as the conduit between defence
and attack. No coincidence United scored after he took the game by the lapels
but overwhelmed in second-half.
Marouane Fellaini - 5
Rollocked by Bailly and Jones for not pressing and was workmanlike from the
start again. Not very creative in attack.
Juan Mata - 5
Moved along the frontline intuitively and had some auspicious openings but
was not clinical enough.
Marcus Rashford - 5
Started brightly but suddenly faded to the brink of anonymity. Too selfish at
times with his dribbling when teammates were better placed.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - 6
A major threat on the counter and linked the attack effortlessly when United
ventured into the final third. Quickened their play.
Romelu Lukaku - 7
Made it eight in eight and led the line brilliantly. His excellent start
extends to his leadership skills - Lukaku is not afraid to give time-served
United players a rollocking.
Subs
Ander Herrera - 6
Aggressive but wasted great chance.
Chris Smalling - 6
Helped Bailly and Jones.
Daley Blind - N/A
Came on very late.
