5 things we learnt from Manchester United's victory over Southampton

5) United look the real deal

Most importantly, as has been apparent for the last few games, United look to have built a team capable of striking fear in the hearts of the opposition. This had been sorely lacking for the last three seasons.

With a defence spearheaded by Smalling and Bailly, Shaw and Valencia flying down the flanks, Pogba bossing the midfield and an array of attacking talents, this team looks difficult to stop.

Although there are chinks in the armour. In spite of the efforts of Bailly, Southampton had a few decent chances to get on the scoreboard. There was a lack of closing down the opposition, as no one apart from Bailly and Pogba looked to do the needful.

Also there were several scoring opportunities which went a begging. The pragmatic man that he is, Mourinho is sure to look into all of that and more.
