43. As a corner comes in, it is flicked on by Ugochukwu.
Ugarte has his back turned and it strikes him and beats Onana.
The keeper possibly should have done better to keep it out but either way Southampton lead.

41. Southampton need to find a goal before the break.
If they do not, all this hard work is for nothing.
Sulemana is causing problems again but de Ligt manges to smack it clear.

Ipswich 0-0 Brighton
53. It is another tough watch in the other game tonight.
Neither side has created much since the break and you start to wonder if this has goalless draw all of it.
While a point would be useful to the Tractor Boys, McKenna would want all three being at home.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
39. Here is Man Utd's attacking play summed up in one moment.
Fernandes has the ball and there are no attacking options in front of him so he shifts it to his left to manufacture a position to shoot.
His effort strikes Hojlund and the visitors clear.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
37. Man Utd finally have their first shot on target this evening.
Hojlund picks the ball up out wide again and plays it Fernandes some way out.
As there is no one in the box, he unleashes a shot but it is straight at Ramsdale and a simple stop.
Currently, Southampton have had four shots on target, that was the Red Devils' first if you can call it that.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
35. So close to a goal again for The Saints.
Sulemana is making Yoro look like a local league player.
He knocks the ball around him and uses his pace to get there before anyone in a red shirt.
Cutting inside onto his right foot, he angles his effort towards the top corner and it goes narrowly wide.

Alejandro Garnacho is very much on trial under Ruben Amorim and there is a sense the United boss wouldn’t be heart-broken if he were sold with the club desperate to raise transfer cash.
Napoli are understood to be interested but won’t like what the re – runs look like when they see the 20 year old’s shocking miss 20 minutes in.
Rasmus Hoijlund set him up perfectly but with the goal at his mercy he slid his shot wide.
That would be one way to knock a few million quid off your transfer value…and make your manager more doubtful about keeping you.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
33. The hosts are making Southampton look like Real Madrid.
It has been a dreadful showing from Ruben Amorim's side so far.
None of the players seem interested or have any passion to win their personal battles out there.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
31. This is part of the reason why The Saints are in the predicament they find themselves in.
At this level, you simply cannot afford to miss so many chances as they do.

29. Dibling gets away from his marker and cuts inside onto his left foot.
The youngster gets a shot away but Onana makes a good save.
It comes back out to Fernandes, who drills a shot at goal but the keeper is up and able to block again.
Southampton could be three-nil up at this point.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
27. Man Utd need to do more to get these fans going.
It is like a library in Old Trafford currently.
Every time the hosts have the chance to counter, a misplaced pass gifts possession away.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
25. Mainoo does well to attack the goal in a wide position and draws Ramsdale into his near post.
The youngster looks to cut it back to Garnacho but Harwood-Bellis controls it and clears.
That is what I mean about Garnacho, he was static there, rather than making a run showing hunger for the ball.

23. This will be playing into the visitors' hands here.
When sides come at them with high tempo play, they struggle to cope.
Slow-paced games like this are just what they thrive on and seems to be the only way they can handle Premier League demands.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
21. Based on that last chance alone, if someone offers good money for Garnacho, sell him.
He just does not seem to be improving at all, which is frustrating.
There seems to be a player in there but all too often he makes the wrong decisions and his finishing is woeful.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
19. Hojlund strides into the box and instead of shooting, lays it on a plate for Garnacho in the middle of the goal.
How he slices it wide would baffle most scientists.
That is the best chance of the game and the hosts should be leading.
HT: Ipswich 0-0 Brighton
There is nothing to seperate the sides at Portman Road.
Both teams will feel they could be leading by the break.
It is one of those games that just feels like it needs a goal to get it going at the moment.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
17. Mainoo threads the ball forward to Hojlund.
As he controls it, he immediately out wide with the ball.
You look in the penalty area and there is not one Man Utd player in there.
They are one of the many teams in the Premier League who are desperate for a striker in this transfer window.

15. It says a lot about the Man Utd performance so far that this game is being bossed by the team bottom of the table.
Southampton are passing the ball around and utilising the size of this Old Trafford pitch.
Whenever someone comes forward for the hosts, there are such limited options in front of them.
It is almost as if Amorim are getting them to play deeper to address the amount of goals they ship.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
13. Sulemana beats Yoro and strides into the box.
He looks to bend one in the far corner but Onana gets down well to make a one-handed save.
The Saints were close to breaking the deadlock there.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
11. Ugarte looks to come away with the ball.
With options limited in front of him, he checks back plays it back to the defence.
It is all look very laboured from the hosts.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
9. The visitors are starting to see more of the ball now.
Martinez is penalised for a clumsy challenge in his own half.
Southampton are happy to pass it around and control the tempo.

Ipswich have got their tails up a bit in the last ten minutes or so.
Nathan Broadhead is finding some good pockets of space behind the Brighton midfield and is causing problems when Ipswich fly forwards.
They need to keep this up.
Man Utd 0-0 Southampton
7. Hojlund is such a frustrating to player to watch.
You see him showing for the ball in areas that should be occupied by your centre midfielders.
How numerous coaches have not addressed this and told him he wont score goals unless he spends more time in the box.

5. The least Red Devils' fans expected with the appointment of the new mannager is to improve their league position.
This club is not used to being in the bottom half.
Since Amorim has taken over they slipped further down the table.
