Views from SunSport’s Martin Blackburn
Rasmus Hojlund misery goes on. The Dane had the best chance of a lacklustre second half but could not reach Alejandro Garnacho’s cross.
Soon afterwards he was replaced by Chido Obi and his record now stands at one goal in 28 games. No wonder United are on course for their lowest ever goals tally in a Prem season.
The Red Devils’ home form in this season’s Prem has been desperate.

73. It’s neat and nice play from United again, Obi and Mount combine for a few passes till Mount plays it to Garnacho who lays it for Fernandes in the box but he gets the shot horribly wrong and it is wayward.
That’s the man who all United fans would have wanted the ball to fall to aswell!

It is just missed by Hojlund as he does everything to try and reach it, his goal drought continues only the one goal in 27 games!
Much better from United! Instant impact from Bruno
