Ralph Hasenhuttl gave a damning assessment of Manchester United problems after seeing his Southampton side expose one of their biggest weaknesses. Asked how his side had exploited United,
Ralph 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.
