Mourinho’s men underwhelmed yet again

United escaped a fifth defeat in their 14 league games, but were unable to avoid a fourth draw.How did Jose Mourinho’s men perform individually? Scroll down for talkSPORT.com’s player ratings.

David de Gea – 6

Little he could do for either goal and made a great save from Nathan Redmond in the second-half.

Scott McTominay – 6

A surprise inclusion in a Man United back three, but he gave a good account of himself despite playing out of position. Excellent last-ditch tackle on Michael Obafemi.5

McTominay was played out of position in a back three

Phil Jones – 5

United didn’t cover themselves in glory as a defensive unit and Jones has to take some of the blame, however he was not the most culpable.

Nemanja Matic – 4

Awful attempt at a tackle in the build up to the first Southampton goal and looked vulnerable throughout.

Ashley Young – 5

Produced a horrible cross with United on the break and struggled with his end product all evening.

Marouane Fellaini – 5

Another woeful attempted tackle before Armstrong’s goal and missed a free header at 2-2.5

Fellaini was ineffective

Ander Herrera – 7

Rewarded for his desire to get forward from midfield and supplied a tidy finish for the goal.

Luke Shaw – 6

Appeared to get clattered every two minutes as he charged forward – a victim of some poor United passing and was forced off through injury.

Paul Pogba – 4

Slowed the game down to walking pace and conceded possession far too often. Not his day.

Marcus Rashford – 8

Recovered from a terrible start to single-handedly drag United back into the game. Superb strength for the first goal and frightening pace for the second.5

Rashford dragged United back into the game

Romelu Lukaku – 7

His best game for a long time. Held the ball up well and provided an emphatic finish to score his first goal in 12 games.

Sub – Diogo Dalot – 6

Moved the ball quickly and looked bright.

Sub – Anthony Martial – 6

Failed to influence the game in his short time on the pitch.

Sub – Jesse Lingard – N/A
