Comments:

League position: 1st Following his return to the club for a world record transfer fee, Paul Pogba made his first Premier League appearance for Manchester United since 18 March 2012 (1,616 days ago). United had not now lost a home league game on a Friday since April 1950 (won 14 and drawn six). This was Wayne Rooney's 600th club career appearance.

Comments:

League position: 13th This was Southampton's first defeat in their last eight Premier League games (won five). The Saints had now conceded in 14 consecutive Premier League games; their longest run without a clean sheet since November 2012 (21 games). They conceded 19 Premier League goals away from St Mary's in the previous season. Only champions Leicester City conceded fewer (18).
