• Manchester United manager attacks players’ meekness
• Team lacks ‘ones who bite the ball all the time’, says Mourinho
José Mourinho attacked the meekness of most of Manchester United’s players as his team fell two goals behind to Southampton before coming back to equalise. The comeback did not go far enough and the manager accepted a 2-2 draw amounted to two more points dropped.
United started sluggishly at St Mary’s and found themselves two down within 20 minutes after excellent strikes by Stuart Armstrong by Cedric Soares. They were in danger of being beaten by a team who have not won at home all season until Marcus Rashford – United’s one “mad dog”, according to Mourinho – inspired a fightback, creating goals for Romelu Lukaku and Ander Herrera before the break.
