BRENTFORD LEAD AT THE ETIHAD!

Manchester United comfortably beat Southampton 3-0 after completely turning the game around late in the first half.

Cameron Archer's missed penalty led to a collapse from the Saints and Erik ten Hag's side dominated proceedings afterwards.

Goals from Matthijs De Ligt, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho have given the travelling fans a great day out.

The hosts are still without a point after four games now, while Man United have picked up their second win of the season.

Stuart Pearce live on talkSPORT: "The result doesn't tell the whole story but they'll be delighted with it.

"Southampton helped them out by giving them chances and it proved costly eventually."

Man United have wrapped the game up!

Casemiro slots in Diogo Dalot who cuts the ball back to Alejandro Garnacho and he fires into the roof of the net.

Man United are unbeaten in all of their 186 Premier League games in which they have led by two or more goals at half time (W181 D5).

And the Saints have only won one of their 93 top-flight games that they were losing by two at the break.

So, it's not impossible, but Russell Martin's side have a mountain to climb if they want to get their first points of the season.

Man United will want to build some momentum now and knock some of Southampton's confidence.

Stuart Pearce: "United have had three good chances in a game where they've not had much of the ball so far."

18-year-old Tyler Dibling has the first chance of the game.

He drives at the Manchester United defence on the right wing and cuts in onto his left foot before shooting.

His strike forces Andre Onana into a great save at full stretch!

Southampton have made a great start to this game and have looked really threatening on the ball so far.

Southampton XI: Ramsdale, Sugawara, Bednarek, Stephens, Dibling, Fernandes, Downes, Ugochukwu, Walker-Peters, Brereton-Diaz, Archer

Subs: McCarthy, Taylor, Harwood-Bellis, Lallana, Aribo, Cornet, Fraser, Stewart, Armstrong.

Man United XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Eriksen, Mainoo, Fernandes, Diallo, Rashford, Zirkzee.

Subs: Bayinidir, Maguire, Evans, Ugarte, Casemiro, Collyer, Antony, Garnacho, Wheatley.

Manchester United kick off this weekend's Premier League action with an away trip to Southampton - and the pressure is already on Erik ten Hag to deliver.

An opening day 1-0 win over Fulham was followed by really poor defeats to Brighton and Liverpool, leaving the Red Devils is desperate need of three points at St Mary's.

If not for the sake of their fans and the confidence of their players, for the future of their manager.

Ten Hag signed a contract extension in July after United bosses chose to keep him in charge despite talks with a number of other coaches - but nobody would have expected his future to come into question just three games into the season.

And the Dutchman has admitted he needs to start winning again to repay the faith shown in him by his superiors - namely Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

“In football you have to win, you have to deliver, that’s clear," said Ten Hag ahead of the lunchtime game - which is LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on talkSPORT.

“It’s good that the new leadership acknowledge this and says this.

Nobody can deny in these last eight or nine months a lot has happened to this club.

"A new leadership team, new structure and ownership structure, a new leadership team - a huge turnaround, I would say.”

Ivan Toney made his debut in the Saudi Pro League last night - against Cristiano Ronaldo, no less.

The former Brentford striker, who left in a £40m deal, even almost secured a winning start to life as an Al-Ahli player as his team drew 1-1 with Al-Nassr.

Toney - sporting the 99 shirt - started the match, leading the line in front of former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino and ex-Man City winger Riyad Mahrez.

It was another big star who fired Al Ahli in the lead, with former Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie rifling the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box.

A debut win for Toney - who played the full 90 minutes - was almost booked, only to concede an own-goal in the ninth minute of injury-time to spoil the party.

Pep Guardiola admits he has to binge-watch Liverpool to gain a better understanding of Arne Slot’s method.

The Manchester City boss has been thrown a curveball with the departure of Jurgen Klopp at the end of last season.

Klopp’s departure may have brought the curtain down on one of the Premier League’s greatest managerial rivalries, but the Liverpool-Manchester City battle appears to be alive and well.

Guardiola now has the task of working out a way to overcome Slot’s methods ahead of their first showdown at Anfield on November 30.

Both sides have maximum points from their opening three league games with the table already taking a familiar look.

Speaking about the adaptations he has made since Slot’s arrival, Guardiola said: "When I play a new club in the Champions League that I don't know, I see much more than playing against Arsenal, for example.
