Manchester United vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League score and result as Adams cancels Sancho goal
Follow live reaction of the Premier League match at Old Trafford this lunchtime
Manchester United’s frustrating season continued when they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
United started brightly at Old Trafford, creating several early openings before Jadon Sancho got on the end of Marcus Rashford’s low cross to fire the hosts in front in the 21st minute.
However, United, just as they did against Burnley in midweek, dropped off after scoring and again conceded early in the second half, when Scotland international Che Adams slotted home in the 48th minute to equalise.
Saints wasted two great chances to complete the turnaround as the Old Trafford fans grew more and more frustrated about another game that was slipping out of their team’s hands.
Cristiano Ronaldo thought he had scored a late winner for United, only for his close-range strike to be ruled out for offside.
The draw means United remain fifth in the standings on 40 points from 24 matches played, 20 points adrift of leaders Manchester City, while Saints stretched their unbeaten run to four in all competitions to stay 10th.

Kick off: Everton could really do with picking up three points this afternoon in order to create a bit of breathing space above the relegation zone. Leeds are in a better position but they’ll want to win for the same reason.
Allan gets the ball rolling at Goodison Park. This should be a good contest.
Manchester United booed off after Che Adams earns Southampton deserved draw
Play well, score first, play less well, concede. Manchester United’s third 1-1 draw in nine days followed the same pattern as the previous two, only with one significant difference: the sound of booing at the sound of the final whistle.
Old Trafford was not amused and had no reason to be after seeing Southampton come away with a well-deserved point, as many of the same problems that have plagued Ralf Rangnick’s side of late played out once more.
