Another match without a win and another match without scoring for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Man Utd did not pass the draw against Southampton (1-1) and enters a crisis of results and game that take him away from the Champions League.
They are three games in a row without knowing the victory and six without scoring for Cristiano Ronaldo, who had not had a similar streak for more than a decade, since the 2005/2006 season, in which he scored nine goals in 50 games.
Ralf Rangnick’s men once again had a decent first half, in which Jadon Sancho scored his first goal at Old Trafford, culminating a counterattack initiated by Bruno Fernandes and led by Marcus Rashford.
But the team fell, like against Burnley, in the second half. Che Adams took advantage of a mistake by Luke Shaw to enter alone on the wing and beat De Gea with a low shot, hitting the post. United went for the win, but it was Southampton who could have won if Armando Broja hadn’t missed a one-on-one against De Gea.
The ‘Red Devils’ pressed, to whom the assistant annulled a goal by Cristiano in clear offside, and to whom Forster denied the victory at the last moment, with a header by Harry Maguire.
The stumble, one more, seriously jeopardizes the possibility that United will be in the Champions League next season. They are fifth, with 40 points, the same as West Ham United, which is fourth, but with just one advantage over Tottenham and four over Tottenham Hotspur, who have two and three fewer games, respectively.
