Manchester, Feb 12: Manchester United’s lean spell continued with a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday as Cristiano Ronaldo’s run without a goal extended to six games.
Che Adams grabbed Southampton’s equalizer in the 48th minute to cancel out the opener in the 21st by Jadon Sancho, who scored at Old Trafford for the first time since joining United in the offseason. T
he latest setback for United came four days after a 1-1 draw at last-place Burnley and a week after getting eliminated from the FA Cup at the hands of second-tier Middlesbrough at home.
United moved onto the same number of points as fourth-place West Ham but remained outside the Champions League positions.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, hasn’t scored in 2022 – his last goal was against Burnley on Dec. 30 – though he did have a shot cleared away from near the goal-line.
Sancho’s goal was a tap-in at the far post from a cross by Marcus Rashford, who had been released by a fine pass from deep by Bruno Fernandes. (AP)
