Luke Shaw names biggest mistake Manchester United made vs Southampton

Luke Shaw fears history is repeating itself again after Manchester United drew 1-1 with Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

EPL: Manchester United held by Southampton as frustrating season continues

Manchester United's frustrating season continued when they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday. United started brightly, creating several early openings before Jadon Sancho got on the end of Marcus Rashford's low cross to fire the hosts in front in the 21st minute -- the England forward's first goal at Old Trafford. However, United, just as they did against Burnley in midweek, dropped off after scoring and again conceded early in the second half, when Scotland international Che Adams slotted home in the 48th minute to equalise.

Manchester United Blow Lead Again In Southampton Draw

Manchester United blew a first half lead for the third consecutive game as Che Adams' strike earned Southampton a deserved 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday. Jadon Sancho's first Premier League goal at home rewarded a bright start from Ralf Rangnick's men. Yet the Red Devils again failed to build on their lead and were punished when Adams slotted in off the inside of the post two minutes into the second half. A point edges United level on points with fourth-placed West Ham. But Arsenal are just a point behind with two games in hand, while Tottenham have played three fewer games and are four points back.

Che Adams strikes to grab point for Southampton at Manchester United

This was not quite the tale of two halves that was Manchester United’s draw at Burnley and penalty shootout defeat by Middlesbrough. In those last two outings Ralf Rangnick’s men were cruising before the interval and lost the plot after it. Today they did concede again after the tea and oranges but then held firm against a Southampton whose spirit impressed.
