1-0 to 1-1, the familiar plot of Manchester United seems to be back. That's not a good thing for them. To make matters worse, the number one star of the game, Ronaldo, is still in poor shape, missing several scoring opportunities. Moreover, C Ronaldo also lost confidence in his teammates, and when he commanded Rashford to rush, he was ignored by the latter.
The 25th round of the Premier League was contested, with Manchester United hosting Southampton. In this match, Manchester United showed the strongest squad: goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Lux shaw, midfielders Scott McTominay, Pogba, B Fee, strikers Sancho, Rashford and Ronaldo.

In the 22nd minute, B Fei's midfield scalpel passed, Rashford dribbled down the bottom of the low flat ball to the middle of the road, Sancho in the middle of the road to easily break the goal. 1-0, Manchester United broke the deadlock.
In the 40th minute, Southampton's cross from the left was met by Armstrong's volley and De Gea's standard fish leap saved the ball underneath him. 1 minute later, Sancho crossed to find C Ronaldo, who took the ball and was surrounded by 2 defenders on the other side, and had no choice but to return the pass.
In the 46th minute, Luke Shaw's long pass from the back, Ronaldo quickly inserted into the box and crossed the middle of the road, and Pogba swept the goal. However, the referee blew C Ronaldo offside at the first time, so he cancelled the goal.

Just two minutes into the second half, Pogba made a mistake, Erjunusi went straight to the left of the penalty area, and Adams followed up on the left side of the penalty area, pushing directly into the far corner to break the goal. 1-1, the Saints stubbornly equalized. After losing the ball, Lonnick was also very upset and threw up his hands to express dissatisfaction, while De Gea shook his head to show that he was puzzled by the defensive errors in the defender line.
As for the reason for Manchester United's goal, the famous mouth Zhang Lu said: the weakness of Manchester United's single back was exposed in the first half, and McTominay had free space on the right side, and was indeed caught by the opponent.
In the 57th minute, Southampton had the ball in the backfield, C Ronaldo pressed up to press for it, and then signaled the far end of Rashford to follow up the rush, but the latter turned a blind eye and ignored C Ronaldo's command. This made Ronaldo a little embarrassed.
