Luke Shaw names biggest mistake Manchester United made vs Southampton

Luke Shaw fears history is repeating itself again after Manchester United drew 1-1 with Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Ralf Rangnick's side took a first-half lead but crumbled in the second-half for the third match in succession after a dominant start to the match at Old Trafford.

Jadon Sancho netted his first United home goal since joining last summer as part of an impressive opening performance, but Southampton levelled just three minutes into the second-half through Che Adams.

It was the latest Jekyll and Hyde performance from United in the last three matches and Shaw believes his side paid the price for wasting so many scoring opportunities.

"History is repeating itself again," Shaw told Match of the Day. "We started really well the first 20 minutes, got the goal and it just happened again. We know it's not good enough and it needs to change quickly.

"If we take our chances early in the game it's a different story. We know we need to get better. We can't over-think it. We want to get in the Champions League and it's not good enough and there's no way we will get in Champions League if we keep dropping points.

"The most important thing at the moment is results. It's about picking up the points and we need to be climbing the table."
