On the evening of February 12, Beijing time, in a match in the 25th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Southampton at home. As a result, after 90 minutes of the battle, Manchester United was forced to draw 1-1 by the opponent with a 1-0 lead, repeating the bad consequences of the previous game. After this round, Manchester United failed to return to the top 4 positions and may be pulled away by opponents.
In the last round of the match against Burnley, Manchester United was the same as before, being forced to draw with the opponent in the lead and losing the Champions League position that he had hard to regain. In that game, C Ronaldo did not start, and he did not participate in the team's curtain after the game, which also caused some controversy.
The Red Devils' opponent, Southampton, is a well-known Killer of the Premier League. In the previous time, they had killed Tottenham Hotspur and ended the winning streak record of Manchester City at the top of the table. Against Manchester United, Hasenhuttel's side did not want to miss the opportunity to score points away from home.
In this game, Ronaldo returned to the starting position. The last time Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Manchester United was in a match with Burnley last December. Throughout January, Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to score goals, and he was blown off many times. After starting again, Ronaldo's desire to score is very strong.
In the 6th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo was given a valuable opportunity to score. After receiving Sancho's straight plug, the Portuguese passed the goalkeeper to face the empty goal, but unfortunately his lack of strength was released by the opponent. This opportunity was arguably Ronaldo's best scoring opportunity in the first half, but the players did not seize it.
In the ensuing time, B Fischer responded with an attack, Rashford assisted Sancho to complete the goal, and the 8500W new signing also scored the first goal of the Dream Theatre. From the actual situation, this goal has little to do with Ronaldo, although he has been wrapped up in the middle, but the firepower attracted is limited.
Before the end of the half, Ronaldo's goal was blown out, and he assisted Pogba to score successfully, but the referee awarded the Portuguese offside. The failure to pull off the advantage at half-time set the stage for United's draw in the second half. Sure enough, as soon as he returned, Che Adams helped Southampton to a smooth equaliser, and the two sides returned to the same running line 1-1.
In the 72nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to take advantage of another goal opportunity. United scored with a front-field locator, but Ronaldo's header into the net this time was judged to be offside. For the Portuguese, the game was depressing, with goals and assists blown out, and he failed to grasp the one-handed goal of the first half.
For the rest of the game, United made consecutive adjustments, but also failed to score again. In the end, the whole game was over, Manchester United drew 1-1, and Cristiano Ronaldo extended the personal goal drought to 43 days. After entering 2022, the Portuguese still have not scored their first Manchester United goal.
