Manchester United vs Southampton

Only Wayne Rooney (21y 4d v Bolton in October 2006) has scored a Premier League hat-trick for Manchester United at a younger age than Amad Diallo tonight (22y 189d), who is now the Red Devils’ youngest ever hat-trick scorer at Old Trafford in the competition.

Manchester United are now unbeaten in each of their last 16 Premier League meetings with Southampton (W8 D8), their joint-longest ongoing run against an opponent in the competition (also 16 v Charlton).

Southampton are winless in each of their last 18 Premier League away games (D4 L14), the longest run without victory on the road in the division since Aston Villa in September 2019 (21 games).

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games against Southampton (W7 D8) since a 1-0 home loss in January 2016.

Southampton lost 13 of their first 14 Premier League away games against Manchester United but have since lost just three of their last 10 visits to Old Trafford in the competition (W2 D5).

Manchester United have lost each of their last three Premier League home games. They last lost more consecutively in February 1934 as a second tier side (5), while they last did so in the top-flight in October 1930 (6).

Southampton are winless in their last 17 Premier League away games (D4 L13) – only between March 1985 and February 1986 have they had a longer run without a win on the road in the top-flight (19).

Nine of Manchester United’s 28 Premier League goals conceded this season have been headers, while nine have also come from corners – in both cases these are league-high percentages (32%), while only Wolves have conceded more of each type overall (10 headers, 10 from corners).
