Manchester United Drop Points Yet Again After Drawing 1-1 At Home To Southampton

Manchester United dropped points for the second time in a week after being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton.

The Red Devils failed to beat Burnley on Tuesday, with Jay Rodriguez cancelling out Paul Pogba's opener early on in the second half at Turf Moor.

And it was virtually the same story at Old Trafford in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.

United took the lead again courtesy of Jadon Sancho's first Premier League goal at the Theatre of Dreams but conceded straight after the interval yet again when Che Adams levelled matters following a free-flowing move.

The strike continued a fine week for Adams and Southampton, as he bagged the winner in the dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Spurs on Wednesday.

Saints lost this very same fixture 9-0 last season in a game where they had two players sent off.

But it was another miserable outing for United, who are three games without a win in all competitions - the last victory coming against West Ham on 22 January.

The Hammers, currently occupying the final Champions League place, have the chance to move three points ahead of the 13-time Premier League winners with a win over Leicester City on Sunday.
