Manchester United were hosted by Southampton for round 4 of the Premier League and won 3-0
The good old days might be back for Manchester United following their emphatic win away at St Mary' stadium on Saturday.
Among the scorers were Matthijs De Ligt who scored from a cross from Bruno Fernandez, Marcus Rashford who has lost his shooting boots in recent games and Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United saviour on most occasions.
The question on the fans' minds is whether Manchester United will be able to maintain the same tempo in the coming games.

The 10-second phone call that convinced Mikel Arteta to sign Raheem Sterling
Mikel Arteta has described how he came to the decision to sign Raheem Sterling on deadline day.
Manchester United will face Crystal Palace away at Selhurst Park Stadium on Saturday at 7.30pm.
From the Manchester United' victory at St Mary's we can derive the following that the Red Devils can hold on to to maintain a steady moving ship.
1. Starting Amad Diallo and Joshua Zirkzee
Manchester United used to work with Bruno Fernandez as the striker but he would normally drop a bit deeper into their own half to act as a false 9.
With Joshua Zirkzee at the #9 spot, Bruno can operate in the number 10 position where he is most dangerous and can supply more the team.
In United opening fixture Bruno played as a flase 9 but it was Zirkzee who came to the rescue when United could not find an answer to Fulham's defence.
Amad Diallo on the other hand seems to be sharp when he starts. He is quick to receive and release the ball and plays simple direct football.
When he starts as a right winger he makes it possible for Marcus Rashford to play on the left where he shines most.

'We are better with him' - Mikel Arteta praises Raheem Sterling as he plans to unleash him against Tottenham
Mikel Arteta trusts Raheem Sterling's quality and energy ahead of pivotal North London derby.
Dropping Cristian Eriksen for Casemiro
Despite Cristian Eriksen being a more creative player than Casemiro, he is a bit less defensive than Casemiro who acts as a solid anchor for the team. Besides he is the one who opened up space for Diogo Dalot who scored Manchester United's third goal.
Mainoo can provide the creative edge needed to assist Bruno Fernadez in the advanced areas of the pitch as he is younger and more mobile than Eriksen who might not be desired the club as Manchester United are looking to rebuild the team with young players.

'Case Comigo?-Manchester United winger gets engaged during Italian getaway
Manchester United's eyebrow showman has plans for a wedding in the future after proposing to his long-time girlfriend.
Starting De Ligt over Harry Maguire
Harry Maguire has been Manchester United's last man for a long time but change is positive and it should be embraced. De Ligt scored for Manchester United in the game and he looked very solid and confident while defending.
He can provide a solution for Harry Maguire who gets stricken by injuries from time to time.W
With these changes Manchester United can be assured of a consistent flow of operations of course if Ten Hag has the like of Ugarte and Garnacho on the bench at his disposal.
