Man U’s lean spell continues with 1-1 draw vs. Southampton

London, February 12 (BNA) Manchester United’s meager period continued with a 1-1 draw at home against Southampton in the English Premier League on Saturday, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s goalless career extended to six matches.

Che Adams snatched the equalizer for Southampton in the 48th minute to cancel the opener on 21 by Jadon Sancho, who scored at Old Trafford for the first time since joining United in the off-season, according to the Associated Press.

United’s latest setback came four days after a 1-1 draw with last-placed Burnley and a week after they were eliminated from the FA Cup by second-tier side Middlesbrough at home.

United moved to the same number of points as West Ham, who finished fourth, but remained outside the Champions League places.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo has yet to score in 2022 – his last goal was against Burnley on December 30 – even though he had a goal ruled out for offside in the second half and was hauled off the goal line after rounding. The goalkeeper at the start of the first half.

Southampton proved to be a problem for the league’s biggest teams, with the result coming on the heels of a draw with Manchester City – ending the leaders’ 12-match winning streak – and a win over Tottenham in midweek.

Sancho’s goal was to click into the far post from a cross from Marcus Rashford, who hit it with a superb pass from deep by Bruno Fernandes.

Inspired by Paul Pogba, United were by far the better team in the first half but faded after the break – like the Middlesbrough-Burnley match.

Adams made the hosts pay the price by hitting the ball at the low end of the far post after finding himself free on the left and playing alongside Luke Shaw.
