Joshua Zirkzee avoids ban for crude celebration during Man United's win over Southampton - but is 'reminded of his responsibilities'

Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has avoided a ban after a crude celebration against Southampton.

United staged an impressive late comeback against the Saints on Thursday night in the Premier League, winning 3-1 despite being below-par and second best for much of the game.

Amad Diallo came up trumps, netting a 12-minute hat-trick to dig his side out of a hole and continue their good form.

Zirkzee, meanwhile, after being booed off by his own fans in the first half less than a month ago, was hailed for his involvement after being introduced as a second-half substitute on Thursday.
