MUN vs SOU
Match Centre

FULL TIME: Man United 1-1 Saints

The points are shared at Old Trafford after an enthralling 90 minutes of action. Opportunities continually presenting themselves at either end of the pitch, Jadon Sancho and Ché Adams were the only players to get themselves on the scoresheet. Some heroic goalkeeping from Fraser Forster ensured Hasenhüttl's men claimed another valuable point on the road. Next up: Everton! 

Southampton substitution: Ibrahima Diallo replaces Oriol Romeu

Hasenhüttl's third and final substitution of the match. 

PHENOMENAL SAVE FROM FORSTER

Absolutely divine goalkeeping from Forster. Maguire gets a powerful head to the end of Shaw's free-kick but a diving Forster gets down in enough time to clear the ball seconds before it goes over the line. 

Fernandes recovers from Walker-Peters

Some lovely work from Broja and Walker-Peters inside the area but there are simply too many United bodies for them to beat, with Fernandes eventually clearing for United. 

VAR Decision: Penalty not awarded for Southampton [Armando Broja] was confirmed

Maguire brings down Broja inside the area and stands on his leg as he gets away. Relief for United, frustration for Saints. 

Southampton substitution: Tino Livramento replaces Mohamed Elyounoussi

Just as Elyounoussi looks to be getting himself into the book, Hasenhüttl makes a well timed substitution as Livramento is introduced to the game. 

Saints searching for a second

Another promising attack for Saints that amounts to nothing as Broja's flick over De Gea falls to the United defence. 

Armstrong fires over

Beautiful build up play as Saints look to take control of this tie, with Romeu and Elyounoussi linking up nicely before Armstrong releases his shot. Disappointing from the Scot as it flies well over the crossbar. 

Forster makes vital clearance

Shaw sends the free-kick in to a packed penalty area, Maguire gets a touch away but quicking from Forster sees him make another crucial clearance, this time with the use of his feet off the line. 

Broja looking dangerous

Despite constant tugging from Shaw, Broja makes a delightful run before releasing a powerful strike towards goal forcing De Gea into a one handed save to send the ball behind for a Saints corner. 

Missed opportunity

A nice run from Walker-Peters covering a great portion of the pitch, with Broja to his right and Armstrong to his left. He plays it to Armstrong but catches the ball under his feet and the resulting shot fails to challenge De Gea. 

GOALSCORER 10 Ché Adams

ADAMS DRAWS SAINTS LEVEL

Just three minutes into the second half and Saints are back on level terms at Old Trafford. Exceptional positioning from Elyounoussi who receives the ball from Perraud before releasing Adams. Effortlessly looking, Adams makes no hesitation in sending the ball past De Gea and into the back of the net. 

Back to it 👊

Let's do this, Saints!

Southampton substitution: Jack Stephens replaces Jan Bednarek

Hasenhüttl makes a half time substitution. 

HALF TIME: Man United 1-0 Saints

An end-to-end first half at Old Trafford as Ralph Hasenhüttl's side trail at the break. Plenty of opportunities for both sides but Jadon Sancho the only player to get on the scoresheet in the first 45 minutes of play. A huge second half ahead as Saints look to come from behind once more. Come on you Saints!

Perraud comes close

Saints continue to mount the pressure on United, this time it's Perraud that gets his shot off in front of goal. A lovely passage of play as Elyounoussi releases Perraud who works his way into the penalty area, it's a decent attempt but De Gea gets down in time to make a comfortable save. 

Armstrong denied by De Gea

With half-time approaching more opportunities are presenting themselves for Saints, a rogue ball is delivered in the centre of the box and while Armstrong makes the most of the circumstances, his shot lacks power and is saved by a diving de Gea. 

Walker-Peters launches tantalising cross

Well worked play from Saints with Walker-Peters launching in a promising ball from the right flank, plenty of players in the box to receive it but none of them are able to get a touch and the ball bounces past the face of goal. 

Better from Saints

A nice bit of play from the visitors as Armstrong plays a quick 1-2 with Romeu before firing a shot towards goal, with his effort ultimately bouncing wide of the near post. 

Ward-Prowse up to old tricks

Attempting the same magical pass that saw Saints score twice in midweek, the captain launches another sublime ball into the box as his side look to find an instant equaliser at Old Trafford. Not to be this time, though, as the United defence adequately clears. 

Adams slip halts Saints advance

Another lovely move from Ralph Hasenhüttl's men as Elyounoussi sends in a tantalising ball from the left and finds Walker-Peters, his shot finds Adams but a slip up from the Scot sees the ball bounce away. Ward-Prowse is there to recover the ball for Saints but his effort flies into a solid United defence. 

Beautiful run from Broja

Both sides trying to feel their way into the game at Old Trafford. Broja makes a lovely run down the right flank, dancing his way past Varane, he tries to release Elyounoussi in the area but the Norwegian can't quite get to it and Dalot gets the ball away to safety for the hosts. 

Underway in Manchester!

Let's go, Saints!

FLASHBACK: Saints 1-1 Manchester United

The points were shared when United visited St Mary's back in August but will there be a winner at Old Trafford this afternoon? 

📍 Old Trafford 📍

It's matchday in Manchester as Southampton look to continue their impressive form as they face Ralf Rangnick's United. The hosts could only manage a draw in midweek with bottom of the table Burnley, while Saints came from behind to claim all three points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Saints' record at Old Trafford is flawed, but it's the season for changing the records. Come on you Saints!
