MANCHESTER UNITED equalled a Premier League record - despite dropping two points at Southampton on Sunday.

The Red Devils flopped to a disappointing draw at St Mary's as Mason Greenwood cancelled out Fred's early own goal.

But that made it a whopping 27 away games unbeaten - a feat only matched by Arsenal, whose Invincibles team achieved it in 2004.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not content, however, as he sets his sights on breaking the record with a win at Wolves next week.

Solskjaer said: "No (it doesn't please me), you don't like to equal anyone, you want to go past them. We can do that next week."

United last lost an away league fixture in January 2020 - a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

And although it was two dropped points against Southampton, the Red Devils still have a chance to create history.

The record looked in danger at half-time with United trailing 1-0, and although Mason Greenwood levelled the score it was Saints who came closest to a winner - Adam Armstrong was denied from close range by David De Gea.

United are unbeaten in six games against Wolves and will be determined to keep pace early on in the title race - particularly against a side that have lost their opening two matches.
