Manchester United are here again to play the third home match which they continued to faced defeat. Manchester United have encountered losses of points at Old Trafford than the away games, this is very unfortunate for a team not to even withstand pressure at their own house, I don't expect more from Manchester United this season due to the kind of performance they are having now. Ruben Amorim is going to use all this season studying how he's going to bring out best in Manchester United next season. Making it to top 8 is not going to be possible for them but I know they will come back stronger next season.
I just hope that Manchester United are not planning to play draw with Southampton tonight because the match is goalless and first half is almost done. If this match continues this way into the second half, I will not be surprised if Manchester United losses the match because any goal from Southampton will make it very difficult for United to come back into the game. I was thinking that Manchester United will not suffer to collect the three points tonight since they are playing at Old Trafford, but it seems that is not the case as Southampton is playing with the mindset of "he that is down need fear no fall".
Honestly, Manchester United need to put in more effort if they want to win this match. But with the way they played in the first half, if they continue like that, Southampton will likely score more goals. It is really surprising to see Southampton performing so well tonight; they are exceeding my expectations. I was expecting Manchester United to win this game with ease.
The funny part of the game is that Manchester United was not able to create good chances like Southampton. Southampton had about five shots on target, while Manchester United had only one or probably two shots on target. Assuming Southampton was lucky enough, they should have scored more than this one goal.Let’s just see what will happen in the second half. Still, I don't have much confidence in Manchester United winning this game because their attacks are not that strong.
