A very good performance from Southampton, who were strong at the back and enterprising in possession; United were rubbish, lacking energy, urgency and ideas, drawing for the third game in a row. They are now third in the table, while Southampton move up a place, past Bournemouth.

Full-time: Manchester United 0-0 Southampton
90+3'
Wesley hoedt is Southampton's man of the match; fair enough.
90+2'
United are playing with some urgency now, but where was it half an hour ago?
90+1'
Young curls in a cross and Rashford nods down into the ground ... it looks like it's bouncing up nicely for Lingard, but a brilliant challenge from Stephens sees him hook away over his shoulder.
90'
There'll be three added minutes.

Nice from United, Martial and Mata picking the ball across the box for Lingard, but when he should hit first time he takes a touch, and his shot is blocked.
89'
Southampton are sitting deep in defence and safe in the knowledge that United have not a scooby how the break through them.
88'
Southampton look comfortable, and are moving the ball confidently seeking a winner.

Change for Southampton: Redmond on for Boufal.
84'
Boufal dances past Matic and shoots, but Lindelof blocks. Then McQueen drags follow-up wide from outside the box.

...it goes into the middle and in a small melee, Matic forces the ball goalwards. It might be sneaking wide, so Pogba prods in, but he was offside. Gosh, if it wasn't sneaking wide, that was exceptionally stupid. I reckon it was hitting the post.
81'
Boufal schleps Young back and gives United a free-kick level with the corner of the box...

Ward-Prowse leaves studs high on Lingard and is booked.

Change for Southampton: Gabbiadini replaces the prolific Long. Pellegrini fancies this.
78'
"They desperatewly need a goal," revelates Owen Hargreaves as to United's circumstance. Cheers.

Again Marcus Rashford wants too much time! Martial burrows down the left side of the box and cuts back to Rashford who should shoot first time but tries to shift for an angle of preference. It does not materialise and his shot is blocked.
76'
Southamton look the more likely scorers at the moment. United look clueless, and again Southampton work them, Tadic finding Long inside the box, taking the return and stroking wide.
73'
Matic dwells on the ball inside his own box and Tadic robs him, forcing the concession of a corner which Rashford heads clear.

Hojberg finds Tadic nicely and he pauses then continues, gulling Matic who pulls him down; booking.
