Manchester United power rankings: Lisandro Martinez top after Southampton stalemate

Manchester United responded well to their Anfield embarrassment with a commanding victory over Real Betis, but dropped more Premier League points against Southampton in a weekend draw.

Erik ten Hag's side are well positioned to advance to the Europa League quarter-finals after a 4-1 first leg victory at Old Trafford last Thursday, but could not make it back-to-back home wins on Sunday. Relegation-threatened Southampton picked up a precious point on their travels against a United side that played with 10 men for almost an hour after Casemiro saw red.

The Manchester Evening News United power rankings factor all this in, and there is plenty of movement to reflect a mixed week on the pitch. Here's the countdown.

Stats: 39 appearances, six goals, four assists

Had little time to change that narrative in added time after replacing the injured Garnacho.

8. Wout Weghorst

Last week's ranking: 5

Stats: 14 appearances, one goal,
