Southampton suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at St Mary's on Saturday, but Saints fans were once again impressed with Mario Lemina's performance.

The Gabon international put in a man-of-the-match display in the win against Crystal Palace last weekend and if any of the St Mary's faithful were wondering whether he could perform against the top teams in the Premier League too, they got their answer on Saturday.

The former Juventus man was once again influential in the middle of the park, showed some nice touches and bits of skill and got the better of the Red Devils midfielders on a number of occasions throughout the 90 minutes.

Southampton supporters were quick to have their say on his showing via social media, and while some say he is "a cut above everything else we have", others already believe that "he’s going straight to the top".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
