MANCHESTER, England : Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the close season to much fanfare, promising to restore the Premier League titans to former glories, but, six months on, the veteran's influence is dwindling as his club's stock falls.
Manchester United are wearily familiar with the script. “It was very similar, unfortunately,” sighed Ralf Rangnick. The opposition changed, but not much else. For the third consecutive game, United took a lead, lost it and failed to beat supposedly inferior opponents.
Cristiano Ronaldo is now on his longest goal drought in over a decade as the Manchester United star failed to find the back of the net once again on Saturday.
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Manchester United defender Luke Shaw warned there is “no way” the Red Devils will reach the Champions League next season if they continue to throw away leads after a 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday. For the third consecutive game, United let a 1-0 half-time lead slip as Che Adams’ strike early in the second period earned the Saints a deserved point. Jadon Sancho’s first Premier League goal at home rewarded a bright start from Ralf Rangnick’s men.
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 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.
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.
