Manchester United were so superb on Tuesday night, February 2, beating Southampton in a tie that saw Anthony Martial netting a brace for the Old Trafford landlords.

McTominay himself netted United's sixth with a low drive from just outside the box and it was his third Premier League goal of the season.

Ole Solskjaer's wards started the match brilliantly and they got the first goal through Aaron Wan-Bissaka before Rashford netted the second for the Red Devils seven minutes later.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Manchester United continued with their impressive performance this season in the Premier League as they recorded an emphatic 9-0 win over visiting Southampton at Old Trafford.

Ole Solskjaer and his wards were at the best of their game against Southampton as the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani impressed in the Premier League tie.

With the win over Southampton at Old Trafford, Manchester United have now equalled the record they set in 1995 when they also defeated Ipswich Town 9-0 in an incredible result.

Interestingly, Southampton also got the second-highest defeat ever in the Premier League as they lost 9-0 against Leicester two years ago.
