FT: SOUTHAMPTON 1-1 MANCHESTER UNITED
United equal Arsenal’s 27-match unbeaten away record in the Premier League but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be disappointed with his side’s overall display.
The Reds started brightly, hitting the bar and seeing an effort cleared off the line, but Southampton took the lead when Che Adams’ effort took a wicked deflection off Fred to beat David de Gea.
The visitors took just eight minutes after the restart to level when Paul Pogba teed up Mason Greenwood but that didn’t give United the lift-off expected.
Indeed, it was Saints who could have won it when Armstrong was denied by De Gea with just the keeper to beat.
A good first point of the season for Saints who travel to Newcastle next Saturday. United are away to Wolves.

90+3. There’s a booking for Stephens now. Think it was something he said to the referee.

87. Not the most convincing punch by De Gea as he looks to deal with a inswinging Ward-Prowse corner. He does get it to safety, though.

76. McTominay is on for United, replacing Fred. Maguire is booked for wrestling Adams to the floor. Ward-Prowse will fancy this free-kick 30 yardsfrom goal.

75. Ward-Prowse’s corner is flicked on at the near post by Adams. Armstrong arrives at the far stick but tries to nod it back across goal instead of going for glory and United manage to scramble it away.

74. What a chance for Armstrong. Maguire is caught in possession by Ward-Prowse. Adams then finds the unmarked Armstrong but his shot is turned behind by De Gea.

70. Djenepo is now being substituted for Diallo as Saints make their first change. They’ll need him to stiffen up the midfield where United have a stranglehold.

60. There’s a problem here for Adams who needs some attention. Meanwhile, Southampton have issued an apology and confirmed they will give a full refund to general admission tickets after a large number of supporters missed kick-off due to congestion getting into St Mary's.

59. Pogba has come to life now. He twists and turns on the edge of the box and sees his left-footed shot flash inches wide.

53. Pogba plays a one-two with Fernandes and then tees up Greenwood who fires home from eight yards to claim his second goal of the season. That was all about Pogba.

47. Huge appeals by United for handball after Pogba’s shot hits Salisu. The check is complete – nothing given. Saints just about scramble the corner clear.

46. I thought it might be United that made a change but it’s Southampton who do with Jan Bednarek on in place of Theo Walcott. Looks like a change of formation for Saints with three centre-halves being deployed.
