Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased by his players’ ruthlessness and insisted they “played the game properly” as Manchester United sent nine-man Southampton home stinging from a 9-0 loss.

A night that began with Alexandre Jankewitz being sent off within 90 seconds of his first Saints start ended with the Old Trafford giants equalling their Premier League record win against Ipswich in 1995.
