Man United 3-1 Southampton - PLAYER RATINGS. Amad Diallo is the hero but who kept United in the game before the Ivorian's late hat-trick?

Man United were rescued by Amad Diallo as the 22-year-old scored a late hat-trick to turn the tables on Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday night. The Premier League's bottom-placed club stunned the home team when they went ahead just before half-time through a Manuel Ugarte own goal.

Ruben Amorim's side were heading for another humiliating defeat before Diallo equalised with just eight-minutes remaining. And the Ivorian was the toast of Old Trafford as he struck twice more to seal victory for Man United. So, was it a one-man show for Man United or did others stand up? And who was at fault before Diallo's rescue act?.
Mail Sport's NATHAN SALT was on hand to cast his eye over both sets of players... Andre Onana kept Man United in the game with a couple of stunning saves in the first half. It was a tough night for Leny Yoro who was given the runaround by Kamaldeen Sulemana.
ANDRE ONANA 7 - Made two stunning saves in the first half to deny Tyler Dibling and then the follow up by Mateus Nunes. Hard to apportion any blame on him for an own goal flying past him off the back of Manuel Ugarte. Southampton could have put the game to bed without him.
LENY YORO - 4.5. Picked for what was only his third Premier League start this season and he got given the runaround by Kamaldeen Sulemana. Was picked partly because his pace was expected to benefit United in this match-up but he really found it hard to put a lid on Sulemana.
MATTHJIS DE LIGT - 6. Shifted back into the middle of the back three with Harry Maguire dropping out, De Ligt was largely a solid presence and made some key blocks. Had one hairy moment where he hesitated to come for the ball and found himself frantically backtracking to avoid being blown past for pace.
