Relegation-threatened Southampton hold Man United to draw at Old Trafford
Relegation-threatened Southampton held Manchester United to a goalless draw at Old Trafford in the English Premier League on Sunday.
United shared points with Southampton, failing to bounce back from a devastating 7-0 defeat to Liverpool last week.
The Red Devils looked good in the game before they were reduced to 10-man after Casemiro got a straight red card for a bad tackle on Carlos Alcaraz in the 33rd minute.
With United reduced to 10 men, Southampton took control of the game, dominating 54 per cent of ball possession while United held 46 per cent of ball possession.
Both sides created chances but could not find the back of the net throughout the game.
United are now 16 points behind league leaders Arsenal with 50 points in 26 games, while Southampton sit bottom of the EPL log with 22 points.
