Watford, Southampton draw 0-0 in Premier League

Manchester United could be forced to look elsewhere for an attacker after target Sadio Mane picked up an injury for Southampton, according to reports from the Daily Mail.

The Senegal striker slumped dramatically to the Vicarage Road turf after suffering a hip injury and left the field after only 23 minutes.

Koeman is hoping he is fit to face FC Midtjylland in Southampton’s Europa League playoff second leg on Thursday. I didn’t see exactly what happened, he was not good enough to continue.

“All I can say is that for Victor, the future is in Southampton”, he said, before adding that none of his players would be allowed to leave the club in this transfer window.

“They are Southampton players. Everybody”.

Koeman was delighted with their clean sheet.

The contest was largely a scrappy affair, ridden with heavy touches and speculative balls forward, but the one clear-cut chance in the first half fell to Watford’s Ighalo five minutes before the break.

The record £5.7m signing from Spurs headed over when Troy Deeney flicked on Alessandro Diamanti’s corner.

We finish up with a plucky Watford side looking for its first win against a Southampton side looking to rebound from the 3-0 loss the previous week, The Saints look the favorite here. We had some chances for that and we had a little more domination in the second half.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has declared that Mane is not for sale amid reports linking him with United, but the Senegalese flier lasted only 25 minutes at Vicarage Road before the after-effects of a collision with Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes brought an abrupt end to his afternoon.
