SOUTHAMPTON, England -- Manchester United failed to qualify for next seasons Europa League after drawing with Southampton 1-1 Sunday on the final day of the
Premier League.
Brooklyn Nets Jersey . The dull draw is likely to be Ryan Giggs last match in charge of United as interim coach. With
Southampton guaranteed an eighth-place finish and United heading into the game
with only the slightest possibility of European qualifying, this game had long
lost any meaningful intrigue. The hosts dominated the opening 45 minutes and
Rickie Lambert put Southampton into a deserved first-half lead. Nemanja Vidic,
making his last appearance for United, could only head a long ball into the path
of Steven Davis under pressure from Lambert, who was then picked out to slot
home his 13th league goal of the season in the 28th. Uniteds players gathered
around referee Mike Dean after the goal as Vidic had a bloody nose after the
clash with Lambert in the build-up. Juan Matas free kick nine minutes after the
interval was enough to earn United a point. A year after winning the title,
United finished seventh, five points behind Tottenham -- and 22 behind new
champion Manchester City. When United an Southampton play again next season, the
chances are a number of the main protagonists will have moved on. With the
managerial futures of both Giggs and Southampton counterpart Mauricio Pochettino
unclear, it is likely two new coaches will be brought in -- and for Saints their
main challenge will be replacing a seemingly Liverpool-bound Adam Lallana. The
26-year-old is reportedly the target of a big bid from Anfield and Lallana once
again showed how he can cut it against some of the best players in the league.
Giggs made seven changes from the midweek win over Hull as he recalled Vidic for
his final game. But it proved to be a difficult outing for the man who will be
lining up for Inter Milan next year as he and his defensive partner Rio
Ferdinand, another who could well be departing Old Trafford, struggled to
contain Southamptons rampant frontmen in the opening 45 minutes. Giggs reacted
to a mediocre first half by replacing Shinji Kagawa with Michael Carrick and,
after his side had started the second half on top, it soon drew level. Danny
Welbeck was bundled to the ground by Victor Wanyama and Mata curled the
resulting free kick well out of the reach of Boruc.
