Match preview
Justifying the decision to hand him a lucrative new contract, Amad Diallo once again saved Man United's bacon during a visit from rock-bottom Southampton, who came within 10 minutes of a famous Theatre of Dreams success thanks to Manuel Ugarte's own goal.
A win for the Saints would have been deserved given Man United's dismal first-half performance, but Ivan Juric's side were not counting on Diallo becoming the second-youngest Man United player to score a Premier League hat-trick, behind only Wayne Rooney.
The 22-year-old's treble was enough to lift Man United to 12th in the Premier League table - closer to the top six than the relegation zone - and they have now won three games in a row in all competitions for the first time since Ruben Amorim took charge.
