Man Utd news: Ralph Hasenhuttl exploited key problem as Southampton failure criticised

Manchester United were left disappointed yet again this season as Ralph Rangnick's team squandered a lead for the second time in a week to register a 1-1 Premier League draw against Southampton.

United opened the scoring as Bruno Fernandes sent Marcus Rashford racing through to cross for Jadon Sancho to net.

But Saints levelled three minutes into the second half as Che Adams sent a superb strike off the far post.

After the final whistle Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl identified a key defensive problem for United which his side exploited, with the Austrian being linked with becoming the next permanent manager at Old Trafford.

And following the draw, Paul Scholes tore his old side to shreds in a scathing rant about the performance.

It comes as Donny van de Beek made his first Everton start – and showed his parent club exactly what they are missing.

Van de Beek produced a low cross which Dominic Calvert-Lewin slid in with Diego Llorente to meet and as the ball bobbled up, Seamus Coleman was on hand to nod in from close range.

And even United fans were left purring at Donny's display.
