Ralph Hasenhuttl's damning assessment of Manchester United problems after Southampton draw
13.02.2022 - 01:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ralph Hasenhuttl gave a damning assessment of Manchester United problems after seeing his Southampton side expose one of their biggest weaknesses.
United once again dropped vital points in their race for a top-four finish in the Premier League as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to the Saints – and it could have been much worse for the hosts.
Having taken the lead through Jadon Sancho in the first half, the visitors then began to take a hold of the game heading into half-time as they managed to cut through their hosts with ease.
United held onto their lead to the interval, but it didn’t take long for Southampton to find an equaliser in the second half, with Che Adams coolly slotting home minutes after the restart.
And Hasenhuttl’s side could have even taken all three points, with the likes of Armando Broja and Stuart Armstrong spurning great opportunities to find a winner.
Nevertheless, the Southampton boss could be pleased with his side’s performance as they exposed United’s weaknesses, with Hasenhuttl’s assessment afterwards not making for pretty reading for Ralf Rangnick’s side.
Asked how his side had exploited United, Hasenhuttl replied: “It is not a big secret that when they lose the ball that the reverse gears are not the best from everybody.
“Then you have the chance to create something and we did.

“The pressing for them was good in the beginning but they aren’t used to doing it for more than 30 or 40 minutes, we came into the game after that."
As damning as his assessment was, there can be no doubt the Saints boss was right, with United far too often cut open as the visitors managed to create chances with ease.
Harry Maguire in particular struggled
