Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has singled out Kamaldeen Sulemana as the player who caused them problems in their 3-1 win over Thursday night.
The Red Devils came back from a goal down to win their first game of 2025 at Old Trafford.
The Saints went in front thanks to Manuel Ugarte’s own goal in the first half.
But Amad Diallo scored a 12-minute hat-trick to ensure Amorim’s men took all three points.
The win moved United up to 12th place.
Amorim, speaking to BBC Sport, said: “It was not a great game. After Liverpool and Arsenal, I felt the team was a little tired.
“We were always late, especially in the first half with some problems between the lines.
“The speed of Kamaldeen Sulemana was really hard to catch and they created some chances also.
‘But we improved in the second half and they lost some strength because they were doing man-to-man. Then we took control of the game and created chances. You have a feeling that it’s going to be hard on them, but we deserved the win.”
