Ole Solskjaer and his wards were at the best of their game against Southampton as the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani impressed in the Premier League tie.
With the win over Southampton at Old Trafford, Manchester United have now equalled the record they set in 1995 when they also defeated Ipswich Town 9-0 in an incredible result.
Interestingly, Southampton also got the second-highest defeat ever in the Premier League as they lost 9-0 against Leicester two years ago.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Marcos Rojo finally secured a move out of Man United to Boca Juniors after he was frozen out by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Argentina international returned to his homeland for an undisclosed fee to join the reigning defending champions.
The 30-year-old spent the second half of last campaign with his former club Estudiantes before returning to the Theatre of Dreams.
Rojo last featured for the Red Devils in November 2019 but has failed to make an appearance under Solskajer.
He made his debut for United in the 4-0 Premier League victory over Queens Park Rangers after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in 2014.
Rojo made 122 appearances for the former English champions winning the FA Cup and EFL Cup triumphs at Wembley in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
