36'
GOOD MOVE:
Better from United. Eriksen's low daisycutter of a cross just evades Fernandes who timed his run well.
Ten Hag may have to consider swapping Elanga and Sancho.
-
33'
UNITED LEVELS DROPPING:
United are practically playing at walking pace. Sancho and Rashford are not making those burstings runs forward.
-
31'
CHANCE!

Poor defending from United. Armstrong's ball in finds Adams who shoots on the turn and fires it over despite being surrounded by 5-6 green shirts.
30'
SAINTS CORNER:
Ward-Prowse's delivery to the near post, its flicked on by Adams and falls to Bella-Kotchap who blazes it over from 4 yards out on the stretch!
28'
CHANCE!
Elyounoussi's cross to the back post finds Adams whose header skims the roof of the net.
25'
DECENT GAME:
United should be ahead and Eriksen is playing well but there has not been the same tempo and intensity as the Liverpool game.
The home side have defended very well but have not shown enough up front.
-
22'
UNITED CORNER:

More good work from Eriksen to force a player. The Dane's delivery is deep and is headed away.
-
HANDBALL?

VAR had a look and ruled there was no handball during that pinball moment.
18'
SO CLOSE!
Dalot's delivery finds Fernandes whose header is poor, Elanga's effort is then blocked by the keeper, Eriksen's rebound and Fernandes' shot are both blocked on the line by the Saints defence.
-
14'
TACTICS:

United seem to be deploying the long ball a lot.
The home side have been decent apart from in the final third.
12'
CHANCE!
Elyounoussi's cross is fired in and Armstrong's header is straight at De Gea.
10'
CLOSE!
Eriksen releases Dalot on the right whose effort is blocked, it falls back to him and his cross flases past the post.
10'
APPLAUSE:
A round of applause rings out for former Southampton player David Armstrong, who died earlier this week.
The Saints players are wearing black armbands in remembrance.
8'
CLOSE:
Varane saves Malacia's skin there with a great tackle on Aribo after the Dutch fullback was guilty of a blind pass towards Mctominay.
7'
AMBITIOUS:
Fernandes tries to catch Bazunu off his line with an effort near the half way line but the keeper gets back to make the save.
6'
GOOD DEFENDING:
Armstrong spins well on the halfway line and tries to find Walker-Peters but Malacia puts in a good last-ditch challenge.
