Manchester United hold Southampton to a 1-1 draw after an impressive display by the visitors at Old Trafford.
Manchester United team are getting used to that scoreline, which has now cropped up in three successive games – including a penalty shootout defeat by Middlesbrough in the FA Cup and a league draw at Burnley.
United had taken a first-half lead against the Saints – as they did against Burnley and Boro – but once again conceded a second half equaliser.
The hosts went ahead after 21 minutes through a Jadon Sancho goal which came from Marcus Rashford after he had escaped the Saints backline.
Paul Pogba tapped home on the stroke of half-time to double United’s lead but the goal was disallowed as Cristiano Ronaldo was offside.
The second half started in a different fashion for Ralf Ragnick’s men as Southampton replied early in the half with a goal through Che Adams. The goal was assisted by Mohammed Elyounoussi.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men were humiliated 9-0 on their previous visit to Old Trafford last February, but have managed to put their horrendous display behind them and come out strong against a struggling United side.
The draw means Manchester United are unable to move into the top four, while Southampton stay in 10th place.
