In the 27th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United faced Southampton in what proved to be an exciting match of back-and-forth attacks and heroic goalpost saves.

Manchester United were the favourites to win and came out strong, with coach Ten Hag starting Sancho in place of Fred to increase their attacking power. They dominated the game from the start, creating multiple dangerous opportunities, but Southampton's goalkeeper Bazunu played incredibly well and denied them.
