Pretty much everything was fantastic. What a player Bailly is! Pogba my MOTM.
 
There's a little bit of arrogance in our play. feck it feels great watching us play again.
 
Good performances all round. You could tell we're a physical team. Shoutout to Fellaini. Never thought I'd see a United player in him.
 
Best (and most entertaining) I've seen us play in years. I genuinely mean that.
 
Great performance, not sure about the pogba secret handshake though
 
Decent match. Never really looked back since Long fudged up his chance and Southampton's defending in midfield disappeared (maybe with Romeu).
 
Grew into the game very well. Some fantastic attacking football, just wait until it all clicks!

Defensively we were a bit worrying, but our defenders lapped up every cross Southampton put in.
 
Really excellent performance. We look positive and powerful.

Mkhi can add an extra dimension to our play and we haven't really seen last year's Martial yet, either.
 
It is so good to have the feeling of "I want more" after full time. Under LvG, almost always it was, "thank feck, it's over."
 
Should have won by more. scoreline flatters Southampton.
 
Good result.

Shaw, Blind, Valencia and Fellaini were very good I thought and deserve a mention beyond the headline names.
 
There is so much more to come from us. Looking promising for this season.
 
Pogba was :drool:.. There aren't many midfielders around who can run through an entire opposition. Cannot believe we have Pogba and Zlatan in our team. Some of the football was a joy to watch.
 
What a great game of football. Very entertaining and a great result.. Oh god, how long has it been!
 
Feels amazing to see us playing entertaining stuff again. Really seems like the team spirit is back now.
 
Two comfortable wins to start the season. I'll take that. Everyone played well and we showed some great attacking instinct at times.
 
I'm getting tired of all this "Not like Fergie old attacking sides" from pundits.
 
Hard to pick a MOTM. Pogba was class. Zlatan was the match winner. Fellaini was pretty much faultless. Both full backs were excellent, especially Valencia. Feels bizarre after 3 years of bland, purposeless football.
