Anthony Martial has found the net on his first Premier League start for Manchester United to draw his side level at 1-1 in the first half of their Premier League clash at Southampton.
The Saints started the match brightly and carved out the first chance of the afternoon in the 11th minute when Dusan Tadic volleyed Sadio Mane's cross just wide of the post.
The early warning went unheeded and United found themselves trailing minutes later, Graziano Pelle scrambling home the rebound after Mane's initial strike was parried by David de Gea.
United's defence was caught ball watching again in the 16th minute, allowing Pelle to race clear for a one-on-one with De Gea, but the Italian's effort came back off the post.
Southampton dominated the opening stages, but United had the chance to level thing up in the 25th minute when Juan Mata's lofted pass found the head of the unmarked Memphis Depay in front of goal, only for the Dutchman to head over unchallenged.
The Red Devils were on level terms in the 33rd minute courtesy of Martial on his full league debut. The French youngster latched onto a through-ball from Mata and wrong-footed Maarten Stekelenburg by feigning to shoot, before finishing on the turn.
Ronald Koeman's side looked rattled after surrendering the lead, and United went in search of a second as Mata went on a mazy run into the danger zone, but a well-timed challenge from Virgil van Dijk stopped the final attack of the first period in its tracks.
