A week after their character was called into question after a devastating seven-goal defeat at Anfield, Manchester United were put to the test again at Old Trafford as they had to play for an hour with 10 men following Casemiro’s second sending-off of the season.
The Brazilian was shown a straight red card for his challenge on Carlos Alcaraz after referee Anthony Taylor was advised by VAR to review his initial decision to only caution Casemiro.
This time, though, United held it together and Old Trafford got behind them to help. In one of the most entertaining goalless draws you are likely to see, a revitalised Southampton hit the woodwork twice and United once.
