Manchester United sent out a statement that they are ready to compete for the Premier League title by beating Southampton at St Mary’s, according to manager Louis van Gaal.

Jay Rodriguez, Sadio Mané and Shane Long scored two goals apiece as Southampton coasted into the fourth round of the Capital One Cup at MK Dons. Of course, the Premier League normally is a stronger competition than Holland and Scotland, but he played very good.

Luke Shaw will be out for six to nine months due to the broken leg he suffered in Tuesday’s Champions League match, according to a specialist.
