Amad Diallo and Andre Onana! Remember those names, as those are the only two players worthy of Man United’s jersey at the moment. The Red Devils were on the ropes, as Southampton were 1-0 up behind Ugarte’s own goal until the 82nd minute, although they could have led by three goals in the least, had it not been for Onana.But then the young Ivorian took the hero’s cape from Andre! In the last ten minutes, Diallo took care of his part of the job, netting a hat-trick between the 82nd and 94th minute, for the comeback and United’s 3-1 victory!Still, any other Premier League side would have used the Red Devils’ terrible display during the biggest part of the game and snatched a point or three at Old Trafford. A lot of work still awaits Ruben Amorim.Amad shines for @ManUtd late on with a quick-fire hat-trick 😱#MUNSOU pic.twitter.com/hXaZMl0bW7— Premier League (@premierleague) January 16, 2025 As if they weren’t by far the worst Premier League team – at least according to the table – Southampton completely crushed Man United during the first half. The Ghanaian Kamaldeen Sulemana ran riots past bewildered Leny Yoro while Tyler Dibling and Mateus Fernandes tormented Andre Onana.McTominay gets company from United at Napoli?And had it not been for the Cameroonian, United would have been at least 3-0 down at the break. This way, it was “just” 1-0. Onana noted as many as five stops in the opening period, with his 28th-minute double save being one of the best reactions of the season.What a save from Onana! 🧤The Man United keeper denies Southampton from breaking the deadlock 😮💨📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/EkVEbhGVVN— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) January 16, 2025 Still, the custodian couldn’t save his net from his own teammates (?!) as the Red Devils once again showed they are terrible at defending corner kicks, conceding an own goal scored by Manuel Ugarte two minutes before the break.So Ugarte scored an own goal before scoring his first goal for Manchester United 😭#MUNSOU pic.twitter.com/ioGll0Wh8x— Footy fan (@ultimatefotyfan) January 16, 2025 Ruben Amorim decided to open the second period with a sub, replacing Kobbie Mainoo with, in prospect, more offensive Antony. On the other hand, the Saints’ boss Ivan Juric could be more than satisfied with his team’s performance and thus sent the exact XI as at the beginning of the match.Southampton have the lead at half-time against Man Utd. Manuel Ugarte’s own goal is the difference at the break at Old Trafford.United have now conceded 10 goals from corners in the Premier League this season, the joint-most along with Wolves.#MUNSOU pic.twitter.com/dpxIO9THlR— Opta Analyst (@OptaAnalyst) January 16, 2025 The Portuguese gaffer might have tried to enhance his team’s offensive potential, but did nothing to change things in defence, as Sulemana continued to “school” young Yoro, ruining his day. In the 58th minute, the Ghanaian easily escaped the Frenchman, facing Onana one-on-one, but shot wide off the left post. Minutes later, Antony somehow failed to put the ball into the empty net, passing it to Aaron Ramsdale.HOW HAS ANTONY MISSED FROM HERE? pic.twitter.com/UnT38tg1lO— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) January 16, 2025 Ten minutes before the end, former Arsenal keeper stopped Bruno Fernandes in a massive chance, but couldn’t do anything against Amad Diallo two minutes later, as he luckily kept the ball and netted the goal of hope for the home team.⚽️ GOAL: Amad Diallo🏴 Manchester United 1-1 Southamptonpic.twitter.com/WrFLqEVcXb— Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) January 16, 2025 Only after scoring the leveller did Amorim’s men start actually playing to win and it paid them off in the last minute, as the unbelievable Diallo completed a brace and netted the winner for the Red Devils, saving his crew from the embarrassing draw against team from the bottom of the table.AMAD DIALLO HAS SCORED A GREAT GOAL TO MAKE IT 2-1!!!!pic.twitter.com/rq9HuQJhdk— The United HQ (@TheUTDHQ) January 16, 2025 Ultimately, the Saints made a blunder in the defensive line, allowing Diallo to note his first-ever hat-trick in the 94th minute, securing the convincing triumph to his team, even though they might not have entirely deserved it.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 21Tuesday Brentford – Man.City 2-2 (0-0)/Wissa 82, Norgaard 90+2 – Foden 66, 78/Chelsea – Bournemouth (1-0)/Palmer 13, James 90+5 – Kluivert 50 (p), Semenyo 68/West Ham – Fulham 3-2 (2-0)/Soler 31, Soucek 33, Paqueta 67 – Iwobi 51, 78/Nott.Forest – Liverpool 1-1 (1-0)/Wood 8 – Jota 66/Wednesday Everton – Aston Villa 0-1 (0-0)/Watkins 51/Leicester – Crystal Palace 0-2 (0-0)/Mateta 52, Guehi 78/Newcastle – Wolverhampton 3-0 (1-0)/Isak 34, 57, Gordon 74/Arsenal – Tottenham 2-1 (2-1)/Gabriel 40, Trossard 44 – Son 25/Thursday Ipswich – Brighton 0-2 (0-0)/Mitoma 59, Rutter 82/Man.Utd. – Southampton 3-1 (0-1)/Diallo 82, 90, 90+4 – Ugarte 43 og/
