Daniel James cut inside and drove a rising shot into the top corner for his third goal since an off-season arrival from second-tier Swansea, giving United a 10th-minute lead at St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday.
Southampton's incessant pressure at the start of the second half resulted in an equaliser, with United goalkeeper David de Gea choosing to punch away a shot only for the ball to be delivered back into the area and headed in by Jannik Vestergaard in the 58th.
Kevin Danso was handed a second yellow card for a crude, high challenge on Scott McTominay, reducing Southampton to 10 men in the 73rd minute.
United couldn't put away any of their late chances, though, leaving the opening-weekend 4-0 over Chelsea as their only win so far. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team have five points, one more than Southampton.
