00:00It finished 3-3 in this fixture last season. The return game at the Dell saw United clinch the championship,
00:07their sixth Premiership title in eight years.
00:11Something usually happens when these two come together. We're about to find out what they have in store for us
00:16today.
00:17Andy Cole is immediately chasing this. Without a goal in five games, Cole, unusually for him.
00:23But you can't really complain when you have a look at his goal scoring record for United.
00:30It's exceptional. Phil Neville to David Beckham.
00:37Manchester United got a little bit of a critical battering in midweek for another Champions League failure.
00:47But you can be rest assured they will be well up for it today.
00:58Steve McLaren, the United number two, and of course now the new member of the England set-up. Highly respected
01:04coach.
01:11Beckham.
01:16And an excellent run made here by Nicky Butt.
01:18Ooh.
01:20Paul Jones got a bit lucky there because Butt was very, very nearly able to make contact.
01:31Phil Neville's header, but it drops for Wayne Bridge.
01:35Pahaz, lovely touch.
01:36Cash Lowell!
01:37He wasn't that far away.
01:39Vartes was a little off his line.
01:41And Sam Hampton know
01:43that that was a rather decent chance
01:48for the man from Morocco.
01:50Look at that little touch there from Pahaz.
01:52Brilliant.
01:54But it was floated over by Cash Lowell.
01:59To Giggs.
02:01Straight back to Cole.
02:02Who turns and shoots.
02:04Oh!
02:05And Paul Jones lets it slither away from him and in.
02:10He's done exactly what Massimo Taibbi did in this fixture last season.
02:17A real howler.
02:19But this time it's Manchester United who profit.
02:27Well, you don't want to be a goalkeeper in this fixture, do you?
02:30Last year it was Laetitia and Taibbi.
02:37This season it's Cole and Jones.
02:42Andy Cole's first goal in six games.
02:46But a real gift from the Welsh keeper.
02:55Cole ends his barren spell.
02:59And like he cares about the touch of fortune involved.
03:04They will have to go down as an OG for Paul Jones, I guess.
03:09Although, try telling him that.
03:10He'll be claiming it.
03:13Cole helps it on to Beckham.
03:18That's going to drop for Paul Jones.
03:20And for a moment it looked like it might veer away from him as he ran into Teddy Sheringham.
03:26Calm down, son.
03:28Paul Jones has had an anxious start.
03:47David Beckham ready to take the throw.
03:55He'll leave it, in fact, for Phil Neville.
03:58As usual.
04:00The right back taking the throw.
04:02Now, where's Brown?
04:03And here's the left back.
04:04Irwin helping it on first time.
04:06But Jason Dodd's going to beat Giggs to that.
04:08Just.
04:10Corner.
04:11Although Dodd's let it go.
04:14And as you can see, he doesn't appear to be in total agreement with the decision.
04:19But Andy D'Urso had an excellent view.
04:23David Beckham gets a round of applause as he makes his way over to that corner.
04:27Whereas Brown makes his way up into the box.
04:32Should be a decent delivery from Beckham.
04:34Oh, and Jones again.
04:36Dear, oh dear.
04:39Well, he held on.
04:41Grimley.
04:44Bridge.
04:46Draper.
04:50Bridge gets it back.
04:51And this is nice from Southampton.
04:53Now Oakley.
04:57Pahaz and Davis waiting in the middle.
04:59Tessim has moved into the box as well.
05:00And it's going to come to Kevin Davis.
05:02No, it isn't.
05:03Drifted away from him.
05:04And there was no flag then.
05:05United had pushed out a little bit.
05:07Mark Draper.
05:09And it was well taken by Bartes because there was a little bit on it.
05:13Although you wouldn't expect a goalkeeper of his quality to be beaten.
05:20Like that.
05:22Then you might not have expected Paul Jones to be beaten at the other end when Andy Cole's effort squirmed
05:28away from him.
05:33Giggs.
05:34Plenty of movement ahead of him.
05:37But he'll give it to Andy Cole.
05:42Cole bearing down on the box.
05:44Giggs there too.
05:46And Sheringham.
05:47Oh, he missed his kick.
05:51Well, most things have gone right for him this season.
05:57Teddy Sheringham, top scorer.
06:02A rare moment to forget in what's been a season to remember so far.
06:10Beckham to Giggs.
06:16Giggs coming in from this side this time.
06:19And it's going to spin away from a corner.
06:26Only Giggs and Irwin have collected all six Premiership winners' medals for Manchester United.
06:32Six titles in eight years.
06:34And of course in the two seasons they didn't win it.
06:36They finished the runners-up to Arsenal and Blackburn.
06:40A remarkable record really.
06:47David Beckham delivers.
06:50Sheringham!
06:51Just wide.
06:54He rose magnificently, Teddy Sheringham.
06:57And his 99th Premiership goal was beckoning.
07:01But it just flashed wide.
07:08Steve McLaren.
07:10Making a few notes.
07:15Irwin.
07:16Sheringham let it go to Cole.
07:17Who doesn't get the free kick.
07:20Sheringham allowed to release it to Beckham.
07:23Beckham's cross.
07:25Sheringham's header.
07:29Just wide again from Teddy Sheringham.
07:33But it was a delivery up to the usual enticing standards of David Beckham.
07:43Cracking centre.
07:46Sheringham stooping but wide it goes.
07:51His goals.
07:54Oakley nipped in.
07:55Now Davis.
07:57And now Tesson.
07:59Could be promising this for Southampton.
08:02Joe Tesson.
08:04Away by Gary Neville.
08:07Davis knocking it down for Tesson.
08:11Ryan Giggs though.
08:13Scoops it up.
08:15And you can be sure that he's going to do exactly what he is doing now.
08:19Going on a rampaging run.
08:22Giggs giving Dodd a torrid time.
08:25He's got his cross in.
08:26It's away by Draper back helping out his defence.
08:29Cash Lule beat Phil Neville to it.
08:35I think Southampton will believe they've done pretty well in this first half.
08:39They believe they've done even better if they get a break here.
08:41It's Cash Lule and Pahaz totally unmarked in the middle.
08:45Dreadful delivery.
08:46But.
08:48Apparently Pahaz have got himself into an excellent position.
08:51And Cash Lule who.
08:53Himself was in a similar position earlier and didn't get a very good delivery.
08:58We'll know exactly how Pahaz felt there.
09:02Because nobody had really tracked him.
09:07The Latvian international.
09:12He has made quite an impact in his time at Southampton.
09:16Andy Cole now.
09:18Beckham available.
09:20And.
09:21Oh it's going to come to Sheringham.
09:25Somehow.
09:26Southampton survived that.
09:28It was a really difficult cross to deal with.
09:33His.
09:34But.
09:35Now Scholes.
09:37Trying to thread it through.
09:39Does eventually to.
09:40Sheringham.
09:41Lovely chip.
09:42Oh yes.
09:44Top quality.
09:46From Man U's.
09:48Man of the moment.
09:50Teddy Sheringham.
09:54The goal coming in first half injury time.
09:58Teddy Sheringham.
10:00But Sheringham.
10:02Showing.
10:03What he's all about.
10:05He is about.
10:06Class.
10:11A fabulous finish.
10:17Manchester United.
10:18Two up.
10:19Two up.
10:35Two up.
10:37Manchester United at the break at Old Trafford, lead Southampton by two goals to nil.
10:44Manchester United are unbeaten in 33 Premiership games at Old Trafford
10:48since Middlesbrough won here in December 1998,
10:51and Sir Alex Ferguson wasn't even here that day for personal reasons.
10:55Here's Cashel, Southampton threatened to break.
11:00Oakley showed too much of it to Scholes, couldn't bring it under control,
11:03and United have men available here and one of them is David Beckham and here's Sheringham!
11:09Oh yes!
11:13Teddy Sheringham completes a century, 100 Premiership goals.
11:25It looked ominous for Southampton from the moment, Scholes gave it to Beckham,
11:30you could almost see what was coming next.
11:33Teddy was ready again.
11:39It's a stroll now for the champions and it's a double for Sheringham.
11:593-0 to Manchester United.
12:06Nicky Butt stepping in for Manchester United and Butt finds Cole and Sheringham!
12:14Hat-trick hero, superhero for Manchester United at the moment.
12:21There is just no stopping, Teddy Sheringham!
12:26Of course is hat-trick number 10, Teddy Sheringham!
12:3334 years of age.
12:36He's still going strong.
12:38He's still going very, very, very strong.
12:43It's a fourth for United and credit to Nicky Butt.
12:50Cole's touch to Sheringham, the two of those of course not the best of friends off the pitch.
12:54He's changed that and he's changed a bit more in the second half with a stunning hat-trick.
12:59Beckham now seeking out Sheringham but away by Lundqvam.
13:03Giggs is going to come in though.
13:06Giggs, still going.
13:08Oh, just too high for Andy Cole.
13:13But only just.
13:17Giggs delighting the fans though.
13:26Ryan Giggs leaving everybody trailing in his wake but Andy Cole at full tilt, unable to get to it.
13:42Every pass being cheered and that will be a free kick.
13:45Andy Cole taken out by the man from Morocco who was Glenn Hoddle's first signing in fact.
13:52Tahar El Khaledj from Benfica.
13:59Here's Giggs and Cole trying to get in.
14:02Giggs is there again.
14:04Oh yes, did it cross the line?
14:06Not given, not given.
14:10And now the flag is up and a free kick will go in favour of Southampton.
14:17I have to say that looked pretty close at first glance from Cole.
14:24From Ryan Giggs.
14:28Oh no, perhaps not.
14:31There's been a few controversial incidents in the season so far but that one did not cross the line.
14:41Scholes.
14:42Lovely touch to Sheringham.
14:43Scholes gets it back.
14:45Beckham charges in.
14:46An obstruction.
14:48From Lundqvang.
14:50From Lundqvang.
14:52Right on the edge of the box.
14:56David Beckham.
15:00I think Beckham was certainly expecting the challenge.
15:04Andy D'Urso making sure the Southampton wall is back.
15:13Are we going to see another fabulous free kick here from David Beckham.
15:21Here he comes.
15:22Oh, it's not bad.
15:24And it skimmed off the bar, I think, from David Beckham.
15:33Beckham sporting a close shave these days, of course, and that was a close shave for him as well.
15:44Now Giggs.
15:48Sheringham again.
15:49Trying to thread it through to Cole who gets it eventually.
15:53And he tried to shovel it through in turn.
15:56And Cole!
15:57What a tackle!
15:58From Andy Cole.
16:00And it's a corner.
16:01Well, they may be falling it up but he wants another one.
16:09Andy Cole getting stuck in.
16:15Great tackle, in fact, from Cole.
16:18And Jason Dodd came back to sort it out for Southampton.
16:30So here comes another Beckham corner.
16:32And the flick from Scholes!
16:34And a header from Cole!
16:36It's number five.
16:38And at times they really do make it look easy.
16:48Well, they got a bit of criticism in the week.
16:51Manchester United.
16:55And when they get a bit of criticism, this is usually how they respond.
17:01Manchester United, five.
17:04Southampton, nil.
17:10Beckham's corner.
17:12Scholes flick.
17:13Cole's goal.
17:15Simple really, isn't it?
17:16One, two, three.
17:18One, two, three.
17:19Ten minutes remaining.
17:20It's probably a question of whether United fancy any more.
17:25And with a new strike force on, they might just.
17:29York helping it out towards Giggs.
17:33Giggs bearing down on the box again.
17:36Oh, it's Solskjaer who's managed to keep it in.
17:40Now David Beckham and Cole looking for a hat-trick himself, but it came with him a bit too fiercely.
17:47David Beckham could see the funny side.
17:49Andy Cole might be able to later.
17:53Or rather, Dwight York it was rather on the end of it.
17:56Cole having been replaced by York.
17:58Getting his strikers confused.
18:04Here's Draper.
18:09Now Marsden.
18:13And Marion Pahaz with a little opening, and that's a lovely cross.
18:16But it's put over the bar by Kevin Davis.
18:19Or rather not by Kevin Davis because it's a corner.
18:26Southampton offering a little bit in the second half.
18:30In the closing stages of the second half at least.
18:33But it is a lost cause for them.
18:42Cashlull's corner.
18:44And Davis there again.
18:46But nothing falling favourably for Southampton.
18:52Casual.
18:57Draper.
19:03That's a goal kick.
19:13Solskjaer.
19:15Trying to find Dwight York, but Draper on hand for Southampton.
19:21Oh, no!
19:22No, no!
19:23No, no.
19:25No, no!
19:26No, no!
19:27No, no!
19:34Five minutes remaining.
19:35Cashlull breaking away.
19:37And BT's going to get it here!
19:40They still can't score a consolation.
19:42Fabian Bartes made sure of that.
19:48Here's York.
19:52Giggs on towards Scholes.
19:55Nicky Butt.
19:57Well, it was almost exhibition stuff, but it needed a finish and Nicky Butt couldn't quite provide it.
20:06Effortless, really, from the champions.
20:13But nothing at the end of that move.
20:17Although you couldn't question Nicky Butt's contribution today in that midfield area.
20:26There'll be two minutes of added on time as James Beattie gives Bartes something to think about, but not much
20:33really.
20:37Bartes seeking out Solskjaer.
20:39It's going to drop for Scholes.
20:41Now Dwight York.
20:45York hoping it will open up for him here!
20:47Oh, super save from Paul Jones because to what York did so, so well to create the opening.
20:56Plenty of power on it.
20:59But Jones, for once, able to keep it out.
21:12David Beckham's corner.
21:14Dennis Irwin didn't quite have time to hit it.
21:17But, Phil Neville's cross.
21:22Solskjaer in there.
21:24And Dwight York!
21:25Another excellent save from Paul Jones.
21:29As York closed in.
21:35It's all over.
21:375-0 to the champions.
21:39But it was a little bit hard work for them.
21:41They seemed in the first half to lack a little bit of urgency.
21:45But you could never really accuse them of that, could you, when they've run out 5-0 winners in the
21:49end.
21:50Manchester United 5-0.
21:53Southampton 0-0.
