Match report in news

  • 90'
    FT: Man U 0-0 Saints. Ten Hag's men pegged back to a solitary point here after Saints should perhaps have got all three. After Casemiro's first-half red, the visitors were unable to capitalise off their man-advantage, and have to settle for the one point. All points are golden though for Saints who are still in a thick relegation dog-fight. Thanks for joining the live today!
  • 90'
    Shocking tackle from Shaw on the break, denying Mara the chance from continuing.

  • 43'

    WHAT A SAVE FROM BAZUNU!!!! Varane had a golden chance at the back stick, but Bazunu comes to the rescue to keep it 0-0.
  • 38'
    Man U back on the front foot, and Antony's fouled on the right wing...

    JWP with another good free-kick, but it's sent just wide for a corner after a deflection.

    Casemiro with a tough challenge on Alcaraz for a free-kick.
  • 31'
    Weghorst should've done better with that. The cross comes in, but the Saints defender wasn't tall enough to get a head on it. The Dutchman was lying in wait just behind, but the fact it comes to him surprised him, giving him no time to react.

    After a fluent move forward, the chance falls to Bruno Fernandes, who fires it over.
  • 24'

    Rashford with the best chance yet, who's well threaded through into the box, he opens up his body to put it goal-bound, but Bazunu gets down to it well to avoid the opener.
  • 15'
    United back on front foot here but they've only been able to muster a couple of poor crosses into the box.
  • 11'
    Walker-Peters hits one goal bound, with De Gea remaining resolute.
