This will cheer Southampton hearts - Sir Alex Ferguson has now used up all three of his substitutes, and the game's not even an hour old. Off go Fabio da Silva, Darren Gibson, and Anderson. On come Wes Brown, Nani, and Ryan Giggs. Although Fabio da Silva wasn't actively bad, United's centreback pairing needed more protection than it was getting. Gibson and Anderson, however, were both horrific today, bringing rather a lot of dishonour upon their club. Giggs saved the day for United at Blackpool earlier this week - it remains to be seen whether Ferguson's good luck charm can pull that same trick out of his hat twice in a row.
Southampton FC Vs. Manchester United: Subsitutions Ahoy For United
Although United have had a little more possession this half, they’re still not exactly bossing the game. Removing Gibson and Anderson, who were giving the ball away more often than keeping it, will help, but I’m not sure it will totally turn the tide for the Red Devils. Southampton are still looking to attack at every opportunity, and are a real threat to poach another goal on the break.
