MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left stunned by Christian Eriksen's missing of a sitter in their clash with Southampton.

Eriksen, 30, missed a golden opportunity to put the Red Devils into the lead in the 18th minute following a brilliant save from Saints stopper Gavin Bazunu.


The Denmark international failed to find the back of the net from seven yards out with the goal at his mercy.

Eriksen's tame right-footed effort was stopped by Bazunu and sent United fans into a tizzy.

One tweeted: "Eriksen missed a sitter."

Another said: " Eriksen missed an easy chance lol."
