Manchester United, who did not have much room to send mistakes on the way to the fourth, still failed to nibble this difficult opponent at home against Southampton, Manchester United, who had an advanced goal in the first half, conceded the ball shortly after the opening of the second half, and Manchester United's chaotic attack and defense failed to score again in the second half, and finally had to accept a 1-1 draw.
If The United in the first half were still playing at some level, after being equalized by the opponent in the second half, the players' anxious mentality was revealed through unreasonable passes, Rashford's unreliable crosses were repeatedly broken by the opponent to counter-attack, Bruno Fernandez's pass also seemed to be very anxious, and his teammates had already arrived before his ball was in place, and he also constantly gave Southampton the opportunity to fight back.
In the 75th minute, Lonnick replaced Scott McTominay with Ilanga, but the manchester United who wanted to fight was still unable to really knock on the opponent's door, Foster's high and low block was quite brave, Manchester United's 8 shots on target but only achieved an effective goal, C Ronaldo's "assist" and "goal" were cancelled because of offside, luck was obviously not on C Ronaldo, in the first half, Ronaldo's small angle shot was empty because he was too stable and fast to be chased back by the opposing defender.
Sofascore's post-match rating of Ronaldo was 6.6 points, the second-lowest of the team's starters, and the lowest was Rashford's 6.5 points in the second half like a headless fly.
In the back line, the double center-back Maguire and Varane both scored 6.8 points, but in the actual game, Maguire played quite badly, many times one-on-one was eaten raw by the opponent, the bulky and slow Maguire looked helpless, in the second half the opponent threw away the turn of Maguire and finally struggled to stretch his leg backwards, he was really powerless, fortunately, the attack was finally blocked, and then Maguire's stomping calf was considered to be Maguire's leg was also moving when he reached the ground, just an accidental action, and the exploded Maguire escaped a possible red card punishment.
But I have to admit that Maguire's one-on-one when Maguire was on the floor was really frightening, especially on another Luke Shaw assist before and after Maguire was also snatched up, and the opponent's counterattack hit De Gea directly. What does Such a Manchester United have to do to compete for four?
