On the evening of February 12, Beijing time, the 25th round of the Premier League began, and Manchester United sat at Old Trafford against Southampton. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the starting lineup, and Jesse Lingard was on standby.

Manchester United counterattacked in the first half of stoppage time, C Ronaldo inserted a high-speed cross in front of the goal, Pogba followed up the push in the middle of the road, but C Ronaldo was offside first, the goal was invalid, and Manchester United led by 1 goal at halftime. Yi Bian made the same mistake as in the last round against Manchester United, even the time was exactly the same, it was just the opening 2 minutes (plus the goal time and playing time in the first half were not much different, it was about 20 minutes, Manchester United can be said to have stepped into the same river).
Southampton launched a quick counter-attack, El Yunusi burst from the left to send a delicate diagonal, Adams followed up with a semi-single push into the far corner, the ball hit the inside of the goalpost and bounced into the net, Southampton equalized 1-1. In the 53rd minute, The United defence made another mistake, Broia shot hard in front of the arc of the penalty area, and De Gea bravely saved the ball to ensure that the goal was not lost.

In the 71st minute, United had a free kick opportunity on the right side of the field, B Fei sent the ball to the middle, C Ronaldo inserted a swoop to shake his head and attack the goal, but the ball was still offside and the first ball was blown away.
At the end of the game, Southampton almost made a reversal as he did on the pitch, Broia forced his way into the penalty area on the left and fell, Maguire stepped on Broa when he went to grab the ball, referee Atwell did not say that Manchester United escaped the disaster. In stoppage time, substitute Jesse Lingard won a free-kick opportunity at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the front, and Maguire grabbed a point in front of the goal to grab a super close-range head mallet and was actually saved by Foster, and finally Manchester United helplessly won first and then tied two consecutive rounds of points. Southampton was tough in the Devils' schedule, arguably playing as a killer of strong teams, ending City's 12-game winning streak, reversing the Spurs, and then losing first and then drawing with Manchester United.
