David de Gea has hit out at his Man United teammates following the club's disappointing 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday, February 12.
The Red Devils looked set to put the game to bed in the first half after Jadon Sancho’s close-range clip handed the homeside the lead.
However, the Saints restored parity in the second half thanks to Che Adams' 48th-minute equaliser.
Despite being in full control of the match in the opening exchanges, United were unable to see out the rest of it as they turned three points into one.
