Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl left distraught after his second 9-0 defeat in the space of 16 months: 'It is horrible but we stood up after the first and we have to do that again'

Shellshocked Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admitted his side's thrashing at Manchester United had been 'horrible' and backed his players to recover again after their second 9-0 Premier League drubbing in two seasons.

Hassenhuttl told BBC Sport: 'What can I say? It is horrible but we stood up after the first 9-0 and we have to do that again.
