Another match without winning and another match without scoring for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Manchester United did not pass the draw against the Southampton (1-1) and enters a crisis of results and game that keep him away from the Champions League.
There are three games in a row without victory and six without scoring for Cristiano Ronaldo, who had not had a similar streak for more than a decade, since the season 2005/2006, in which he scored nine goals in 50 matches.
Ralf Rangnick’s men once again had a decent first half, in which Jadon Sancho scored his first goal at Old Trafford, at the end of a counterattack started 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 victory at the last moment, with a save to a header from Harry Maguire .
The stumble, one more, seriously endangers the possibility that United will be in the Champions League next season . They are fifth, with 50 points, the same as the West Ham United, which is fourth, but with only one advantage over Tottenham and four over Tottenham Hotspur, who have two and three games less, respectively.
