Manchester United vs Southampton live updates: Antony misses ...

Given the horrendous performance of his players in the first hour of the match, Ruben Amorim was not allowing himself to get carried away when he spoke to TNT Sports at full time.

"In the end, it's good," he said. "It was a very difficult game, a game of duels. They did a very good job of creating space between the lines and we had some difficulties to stop the No 20 (Sulemana).

"But when they lost the physicality, we found the space to use and then we could change the game. The feeling is that we have so much to do. I felt the team was really tired because of Liverpool and Arsenal, 120 minutes.

"It was a win, it was good, let's continue."
