In the dramatic finale of the Premier League 2 season, Southampton's Under-21 squad encountered a tough opponent in Manchester United, ultimately facing a 6-3 loss.

Yet, in the midst of the fierce competition, the young English-born Ghanaian talent, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw, shone brightly for the Saints.

The game commenced with high energy as Amo-Ameyaw quickly seized an opportunity from a kick-off play, driving the ball home in the very first minute, leaving Manchester United reeling from the early goal.

Despite Southampton's strong opening, Manchester United's Ethan Wheatley answered with a swift pair of goals, tipping the scales back to the visiting side.

Tyler Dibling nearly brought the score level before halftime with a sharply executed free-kick just outside the box, which Elyh Harrison of United's goal impressively tipped over.

Southampton's Luke Pearce did manage to bring the game to a draw, but Manchester United's unyielding attack, featuring goals from Sam Mather, Ethan Williams, and Charlie McNeil, ensured their triumph.

Nonetheless, the Saints' resolve remained unbroken, with Will Merry netting a final goal for Southampton in the 88th minute.
