| Anthony Martial and Juan Mata complete comeback for Manchester United |
ANTHONY MARTIAL scored twice on his full Premier League debut as Manchester United came from behind to beat Southampton 3-2.
Graziano Pelle put Southampton ahead from close range after David De Gea parried a point blank volley from Sadio Mane in the 13th minute, but United drew level with their first notable attack.
Maya Yoshida tackled Juan Mata as he controlled a high pass but Martial was on hand to slot in the loose ball inside the penalty area.
The Frenchman got his second with a composed finish after Yoshida under-hit a pass to goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg in the 50th.
Mata ensured United left St Mary's with all three points when he slotted in the rebound after Memphis Depay hit the post.
Pelle pulled a goal back with a header in the 85th, but De Gea made several late saves to help secure the win.
The visitors have moved to second in the Premier League standings and just two points behind leaders Manchester City.
