90+5'
FULL TIME
Huge opportunity missed for United who miss out on the chance to go third. They remain fifth, outside the Champions League spots on goal difference, and while their fate remains in their hands (they play Leicester on the final day), this is undoubtedly a set-back.
Southampton continue their brilliant away form and on balance deserved a point tonight.
What a match though.
90+5'
GOAL! (Obafemi)
Unbelievable! Saints have nicked a point!
It's a brilliant abll from James Ward-Prowse and Obafemi gets a touch at the far post. United denied!

90+2'
Wan-Bissaka picks up a yellow, meanwhile Williams is attended to by almost every medic in the stadium after a nasty clash.
There's a lot of blood, and while he looks alright there's a lengthy break in play.
88'
Hasenhuttl rolls the dice a final time and brings on Obafemi.

De Gea has hardly had anything to do but he was ready when called upon then. Great stuff,
McTominay is on for United among all that drama.

CHANCE!
De Gea may have saved United on his 400th appearance! Redmond runs at Matic, shifts inside and bends one at goal, but De Gea gets a good diving hand to it.
Great save from a 'keeper under pressure of late.
82'
Oh my gosh.
Martial goes on an absolutely brilliant run, just weaving his way through Saints defenders who are falling either side of him. It looks like he's just about done enough but Smallbone just about gets a block in.
78'
Just under 15 minutes left of regular time. Can Saints nick a goal?
75'
Shaw gives it a go but his night is over and Williams comes on.

Fred plays a ball in behind and for all the world it looks as though Maguire should leave it for Fernandes who is behind him in the box, but the captain elects to head across the face of goal to absolutely no one.
Fernandes isn't happy.
73'
Ah, Shaw looks heart. His right foot gives way on him as he gets in behind the Saints defence. Williams readies himself.
71'
WATER BREAK
Southampton also bring Smallbone on for goalscorer Armstrong.

CHANCE!
Should that be game over?
Rashford produces some brilliant skill to start a move down the left, he plays a one-two with Martial inside the box but Bertrand gets between Rashford and an easy goal.
64'
A Saints make a change too with striking veteran Shane Long coming on for Che Adams.
63'
SUB ALERT
Pogba comes off for Fred. A defensive change no doubt and giving Pogba a rest after a succession of games since the restart - he's not had a great night either, giving the ball away for the first goal.

Fernandes with another dodgy pass that goes miles wide of Rashford. Saints counter now through Armstrong who finds Walker-Peters on the right.
He rifles in a wonderful cross which somehow evades Ings when a two-yard tap-in beckoned.
60'
Redmond intercepts a rare misplaced Fernandes pass to break down a swift United counter-attack.
A flurry of subs surely inbound shortly?
UNSUNG HERO
56'
Bookings everywhere as Walker-Peters picks up a yellow for a handball. United would have been through had he let that one go...
