Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has praised the outstanding performance of Southampton's Kamaldeen Sulemana, despite his team's 3-1 victory over the Saints.

Sulemana was instrumental in Southampton's attack, playing the full 90 minutes and causing problems for the Manchester United defense.

Amorim acknowledged the challenge posed by Sulemana, stating, "A very difficult game. They did a very good job, Southampton, creating spaces between the lines. Their number 20 [Sulemana] had a lot of space behind, we had a hard time stopping that player."

Sulemana's impressive display was a highlight of the match, which saw Southampton take the lead through an own goal by Manuel Ugarte just before halftime.

However, Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback in the final eight minutes, with Amad Diallo scoring a hat-trick to seal the win for the Red Devils.

Amorim's praise for Sulemana is a testament to the Ghanaian winger's growing influence in the Premier League.

Despite Southampton's struggles this season, Sulemana's performances have been a bright spot, and he will look to continue his good form in the coming weeks.
