Manchester United‘s disappointing start to the Premier League season continued at St Mary’s where they were held to a 1-1 draw against ten-man Southampton.

Daniel James was in great form and opened the scoring with a fantastic strike in the 10th minute. However, the visitors were unable to push on and secure the win with Jannik Vestergaard heading home the equaliser just before the hour-mark.

Kevin Danso was handed his marching orders when a lunge on Scott McTominay earned him his second booking with over 15 minutes to play.

United were unable to capitalise on the man advantage though and had to settle for a point.

Here, we rate the each of United’s players.

STARTING XI (4-2-3-1)

David De Gea 6 – Could’ve tried to punch the cross away for the equaliser but otherwise had a solid game.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6 – Almost like he gives the ball away just so he can win it back. Made a game-high 10 tackles.

Victor Lindelof 4 – Looked suspect and lost the ball a few times. Was no match for Vestergaard who towered above him to score the equaliser.

Harry Maguire 7 – Calm and assured at the back. He’s going to need some help at some point though.

Ashley Young 5 – Had a couple of shaky moments, particularly with his passing but defensively, seemed to be an improvement on Luke Shaw.

Scott McTominay 6 – One of United’s better players and went on a good run before setting up James for the opener.

Paul Pogba 6 – Always looked capable of making something happen but needs someone to feed him the ball instead of being the distributor.

Andreas Pereira 4 – Dwelled on the ball far too often and ended up losing it repeatedly.

Juan Mata 5 – Started well but faded in the second half. Tried to force the issue with some wayward passes.

Daniel James 8 – His best game yet? Absolute stunner to break the deadlock and was United’s chief threat throughout.

Marcus Rashford 3 – His worst game yet? Nothing he tried came off. Had a couple of decent shots at the death but that was about it.

SUBS

Jesse Lingard (68′) 4 – A typically frustrating display. Did some good things until he messed them up with bizarre decision-making.

Nemanja Matic (68′) 6 – Brought some control in midfield when he came on. Received the ball and distributed it well.

Mason Greenwood (82′) N/A – Looked lively and had spectators gasping when he cut inside and his curled effort was saved by Angus Gunn.
