Manchester United fans are pleased with Tyrelle Malacia after taking all three points against Southampton in their Premier League clash on August 27.

Malacia is a first team all perimeter defender. He moving like 1996 Gary Payton twitter.com/godbinna/statu…

Teams play considerably worse when they target Lisandro's aerial ability lmfao.
Should be looking at overloading United's fullback and work from there.

That's where the joy will come from

Fans will hope Malacia can continue to lead the charge from left-back as the Red Devils seek redemption.

Manchester United had a poor start to the season, losing against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford. However, with two wins in a row against Liverpool and Southampton, they look set to continue in fine form.

Manchester United see off Southampton with a 1-0 win

Manchester United made it two wins on the bounce after they saw Southampton off 1-0 on the south coast.

It was a much better away showing compared to their last few outings. The Red Devils saw off the home side to claim all three points via a Bruno Fernandes strike in the second half.

They first came close to scoring in the 19th minute, but Christian Eriksen could not steer his header into the back of the net.

The Red Devils ended the half looking slightly better than their hosts but still went into the break with a 0-0 score on the board.

Erik ten Hag's side started the second half with an eye on goal. They were unfortunate to see Scott McTominay's effort not go in with 49 minutes played.

The visitors got their goal after 55 minutes, with Diogo Dalot’s cross finding a late surge into the box from Fernandes.

The Portuguese midfielder expertly found the back of the net to score a sublime goal and put the Red Devils ahead on the day. The half saw Southampton labor to find an equalizer but they failed to do so.

Manchester United next host Leicester City on Thursday, September 1 and will hope to add better results to the ones they have racked up already.
