Manchester: Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal was forced to defend both his tactics and squad management following a disjointed 0-1 home defeat by Southampton in the Premier League.

Substitute Dusan Tadic's 69th-minute goal earned Southampton a first victory at Old Trafford since January 1988, which allowed Ronald Koeman's side to climb above United to third place in the table. United misfired badly in attack, failing to muster a shot on target in a home league game for the first time since May 2009.
