Cristiano Ronaldo continues his goal drought in the draw with Saints

In a match expected to be won, Manchester United were thwarted again, settling for another 1-1 draw merely to drag it by West Ham for fourth place in the Premier League, The team will have a place in the UEFA Champions League at the end of the season.

It’s a familiar story for United: After a strong start when they took the lead thanks to Jadon Sancho’s first Premier League goal at Old Trafford, the Red Devils let their opponents back into the game.

An adept finish from striker Che Adams minutes after half-time brought Southampton’s level and it was a well-deserved equalizer for the visitors, who produced many goals throughout the game.

Hard-working Southampton (10th, 29th) are in good form with a draw at Old Trafford after a win over Tottenham Hotspur and a draw at home against Man City.

Final: Manchester United 1, Southampton 1

92nd minute: It was a stellar save from Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster when his header hit Harry Maguire wide of the post. That save could result in a draw for Southampton.

90th minute: Five minutes of extra time.

89th minute: It was a tense and controversial ending to this one. Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard both go into the books. Amid those warnings, Armando Broja almost created only one eye chance, but Harry Maguire made one last rebound in the box.

82nd minute: SUB – Manchester United bring in Jesse Lingard for Marcus Rashford. Elanga advanced with Ronaldo, while Lingard covered wide.

75th minute: SUB – Anthony Elanga replaces Scott McTominay. Man United are trying. The central midfield will now include Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. Marcus Rashford pairs up with Cristiano Ronaldo in the central striker position.

72nd minute: Another Man United goal was scratched for offside. The video replays made it pretty clear that Ronaldo was offside in Jadon Sancho’s header.

71st minute .: SUB – Tino Livramento came on for Mohamed Elyounoussi, who played more central in the second half. Livramento will play back to the right while Walker-Peters moves to the right.

69th minute.: Southampton with two in a row looks dangerous. First, it was Stuart Armstrong, who shot high, and then Armando Broja, who was unstoppable David De Gea.

61st minute: Man United responded. Cristiano Ronaldo and Diogo Dalot shot back into goal, but Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster saved both.

57th minute.: Opportunity for United. In a well-coordinated effort in the box, Harry Maguire hit the shot and Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster hit the net.

46th minute: The second half is underway. Southampton removed Jan Bednarek (thigh) at right-back and replaced him with Jack Stephens.

Half 1: Manchester United 1, Southampton 0

Half time: It has been a typical Manchester United performance so far with a positive start and first goal, but Southampton played strong as the first half progressed. The Red Devils clearly needed more goals to avoid drama in the second half. We will see if Man United has the strength to stay strong. In recent matches, Ralf Rangnick’s troops have not proved they respond well to adversities.

46th minute: Paul Pogba opened up to send the ball home thanks to a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, but Ronaldo was clearly offside early in the game and the flag finally appeared. Target is not allowed.

41st minute: It’s all Southampton’s late. Minutes after Kyle Walker-Peters’ ball went past goal, Stuart Armstrong made a throw-in from inside the Manchester United box, but he failed to make good contact and United goalkeeper David De Gea was able to catch the ball. .

35th minute: Stuart Armstrong’s dangerous shot opened the scoring for Southampton. It came after a Saints move that involved team-mate and central midfielder Oriol Romeu, who is now pushing higher on the pitch rather than back between central defenders.

32nd minute: Yellow card for Scott McTominay after fouling Mohamed Elyounoussi, this player needs to be treated. Elyounoussi on the left looks the most dangerous of the Southampton players so far. Armando Broja and Che Adams are starving to some service.

28th minute .: Sancho and Rashford have now switched sides for Man United. It was Sancho’s second goal of the tournament after netting against Chelsea on November 28. When Southampton gave way, United – especially Sancho and Rashford – were always ready to start the break.

22nd minute: OBJECTIVE Man United. Another sensational Manchester United counterattack. Bruno Fernandes hung the ball beautifully down the right wing to launch Marcus Rashford, who continued to cross the penalty area and passed to Sancho in the far corner for an easy finish. There are more goals in this section.

16th minute: Yellow card to Marcus Rashford after a difficult challenge, missed by Romain Perraud. Both are fighting on the flanks (so far Rashford is right winger versus Southampton left-back).

10th minute: After an opportunity for Southampton (Che Adams could not head close), Man United continued to counterattack but Jadon Sancho did not pass to Ronaldo and the Portuguese star did not appreciate it because the opportunity was wasted. An energetic start on both sides at Old Trafford.

7th minute.: Ronaldo’s chance! Sancho put him past and Ronaldo beat the keeper, but he played casually with his shot on goal and Southampton’s Romain Perraud and Mohammed Salisu cleared the ball off the touchline. Ronaldo’s goal drought continues.

First minute: We played at Old Trafford and it was a Southampton game.
