Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted Manchester United did not deserve to beat Southampton during last night 's Premier League clash .
@ @ @ @ @ a late equaliser by Michael Obafemi after goals from Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in @ @ @ @ @ : `` We have won so many games in that way .
It is all @ @ @ @ @ this team .

United have been handed a potential injury problem with both Luke @ @ @ @ @ the field against the Saints .
Solskjaer 's side are back in action against Crystal @ @ @ @ @ for the latest updates on our live blog below .

Charlie Nicholas has predicted a win for Manchester United on Thursday. He told Sky Sports:
“It is normally tough to go to Selhurst Park, and it will be again here, despite the fact Crystal Palace have lost five on the bounce. Palace are a team that could easily lose their next three games and end the season having lost eight in a row. Palace do go through the motions, but Manchester United are coming to town and they will fancy it.
“Roy Hodgson needs a centre forward. They scored two against Chelsea, one of which was a spectacular goal from Wilfried Zaha, but they do not look like they have a lot in them. Is he going to get the money to go out and buy someone? You could sell Christian Benteke for decent money as someone in Europe would want him.
“Maybe there will be some significance to this match. Hodgson will be angry and wanting a response from his side. They could have been challenging for Europe but now they are in 14th and everyone is saying the same thing again. There is a lot for them to prove.
“United started brilliantly after the break, but they were all games they were expected to win as they pushed on for a Champions League place. They do need to get back to winning ways, and while Palace will cause them problems, with the emphasis on this being a must-win for United, I think they will get there.”

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-14--Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester remaining fixtures predicted

The Premier League may not have got itself a title race this season , but the battle to finish in the top four has intensified .
Manchester United 's form since the restart has enabled them to close the gap on Chelsea and Leicester City , though Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side dropped two points against Southampton to remain in fifth .

With three games remaining to seal Champions League qualification - and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that following Man City 's successful appeal - the race could not be tighter .
These are those remaining matches for each side and MEN Sport 's predictions for how they will map out ... Frank Lampard 's side have the chance to capitalise on United 's draw and stretch their lead in third to four points with victory over the Premier League 's bottom side , already relegated Norwich , tonight ( Tuesday ) .
After losing to Sheffield United at the weekend , expect a reaction from Chelsea at Stamford Bridge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this one .
Leicester have struggled to put together any kind of form since the restart and this should be a tough encounter against the Blades .
Perhaps it will be a game too far for Chris Wilder 's side though , and Leicester will probably just sneak home and keep up the heat on Chelsea .

They are just one point behind Chelsea, at the time of writing, and level with the Foxes, who have the superior goal difference.
With three games remaining to seal Champions League qualification - and with fourth place now necessary to do that following Man City's successful appeal - the race could not be tighter.
These are those remaining matches for each side and MEN Sport's predictions for how they will map out...
Gameweek 36
Chelsea vs Norwich
Frank Lampard's side have the chance to capitalise on United's draw and stretch their lead in third to four points with victory over the Premier League's bottom side, already relegated Norwich, tonight (Tuesday). After losing to Sheffield United at the weekend, expect a reaction from Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They should have no problems in this one.
Prediction: Chelsea win.
Leicester vs Sheffield United
Leicester have struggled to put together any kind of form since the restart and this should be a tough encounter against the Blades. Perhaps it will be a game too far for Chris Wilder's side though, and Leicester will probably just sneak home and keep up the heat on Chelsea.
Prediction: Leicester win.
Crystal Palace vs Man United
United's game at Selhurst Park will start minutes after Leicester's has finished, so there could be a knock-on effect mentally for Solskjaer's players. And although Palace gave Chelsea a run for their money a week ago, they have little to play for and should be there for the taking. United will be desperate to return to winning ways and should do exactly that.
Prediction: United win.
Gameweek 37
Liverpool vs Chelsea
Where are the conspiracy theorists? Plenty will be wondering whether Liverpool will deny United a shot at the top four by playing a weaker side in this game, but there's no way Jurgen Klopp will be happy dropping points to Chelsea at Anfield. The Premier League champions should win, or get a draw at the very least.
Prediction: Draw.
Tottenham vs Leicester
Another very intriguing game from United fans' perspective, with the possibility of Jose Mourinho doing his old side a favour by beating Leicester. Tottenham have struggled for attacking fluency in recent weeks, but they are fairly solid at the back and ought to deny the Foxes too many scoring opportunities.
Prediction: Draw.
Man United vs West Ham
There's no doubt United have the easier of the fixtures in this round and they play just before Chelsea on this occasion. David Moyes' West Ham are an inconsistent side, but at home United should have the firepower to see them off with relative ease, barring any disasters.
Prediction: United win.
Gameweek 38
Chelsea vs Wolves
If our previous predictions are correct, Chelsea will occupy fourth spot going into the final weekend, with United one point ahead of them and Leicester one point below. Wolves have mounted a decent campaign for the top four this season but will surely finish just short. Chelsea should beat them at Stamford Bridge.
Prediction: Chelsea win.
Leicester vs Man United
A straight shootout for the top four? Maybe not, if United win their two other games and Leicester drop points in any way, it should be Solskjaer's men who have the advantage going into the King Power Stadium clash. A draw will be enough. It may be nervy, but United can outplay Leicester if they hit top gear.
Prediction: Draw

We may not work for the NHS but we are still doing the same job .

The letter added : “ Over the last three months we have risked our lives and those of our families and loved ones to protect these poor vulnerable people who rely on us solely to protect and care for them - not forgetting isolating them from their loved ones and families .
“ This has been a devastating time for us as carers and human beings , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this cruel pandemic.

“ I feel only sadness at this moment in time that you could blame us instead of [ showing ] kindness and appreciation .

Emilio Alvarez has accused David de Gea of a `` lack of loyalty '' after revealing he left Manchester United because he no longer wanted to work with the goalkeeper .
Alvarez was De Gea 's goalkeeping coach at Atletico Madrid and he was recruited to the coaching staff at Old Trafford to work with his protege in the summer of 2016 , with Jose Mourinho offering him the job in a bid to keep De Gea at the club .
But after De Gea signed a new contract to extend his stay at United until 2023 last summer , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , leaving in September 2019 , shortly after Richard Hartis had returned to the club as a goalkeeping coach .
Alvarez has claimed it was his decision to leave the club however , and he 's laid the blame for that at the door of the under-pressure De Gea , claiming he also dismissed agent Jorge Mendes just before the contract extension was confirmed .
`` After almost three years with lots of work and meetings with United to renew him and to make him the best paid player in the world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my back , '' Alvarez told AS of De Gea 's new deal .
`` Honestly , it felt like a lack of loyalty .
During negotiations , he also had a falling out with the person who had carried out all the talks in order for him to be paid what he was paid .
And at the last minute , someone else meddled .
I insisted that I did n't like that because it seemed disloyal .
`` I asked David why he did n't say anything to me and he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say anything to anybody .
This had an impact on me .
The way I understand my profession is that you ca n't help someone develop if you do not have total confidence with them and that 's why I decided to leave United . ''
Alvarez claims United offered him a new deal shortly after they 'd confirmed De Gea 's extension , but that his mind was made up that he wanted to sever ties with the club and the goalkeeper .
`` I told them I was going but not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I wanted to stop coaching De Gea , '' he said .
`` Aside from being his mentor at Atletico Madrid , where I backed him strongly , I was the person who convinced him to sign for United .
I was his right-hand man in Manchester .
I came to United thanks to the great work of Jorge Mendes and because Mourinho wanted to sign me to help David develop and to keep him at the club .
At that moment , he wanted to leave United . ''
Alvarez was one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United when Jose Mourinho left the club in December 2018 and he revealed that was at Mourinho 's insistence , while De Gea also wanted his coach to stay , leading to the 48-year-old to reject advances from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain .
Having stayed on under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the goalkeeping coach then played his part in convincing De Gea to remain at Old Trafford .
`` All the merit falls at the feet of Jorge Mendes , who did massive work for a number of years , working day and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grain of sand , '' said Alvarez .
`` Solskjaer asked me every day to speak with Mendes in order to get David to renew .
The press was asking every day about it and there was a lot of pressure .
There was pressure to speak to David so he would stay and not listen to other offers .
Solskjaer was very worried . ''

Manchester has a world-class cultural sector, and it's one that is beginning to bounce back to life post-lockdown.
Covering everything from science to football to history to art, there are plenty of fun and fascinating institutions to explore.
Our city's brilliant museums and art galleries were forced to close back in March, and are now starting to reopen to the public again.
While they were given permission to reopen along with pubs, restaurants and bars on July 4, the vast majority took longer to actually open up again.
Each will have their own safety measures in place, which are likely to include timed entries, one-way systems and frequent hand sanitising stations.
Face masks are now also compulsory inside museums and galleries, as well as cinemas and retail centres.
Here are the reopening plans confirmed to us so far - we'll keep this list updated as more are announced, so bookmark it and keep checking back.
Manchester Museum
Dating back to 1821, Manchester Musem boasts a collection of around six million artefacts.
Housed in Oxford Road in a building designed by Alfred Waterhouse, it holds an notable Egyptology collection as well as hothouse display of rare frogs and reptiles. The most famous item is Stan - the cast of a fossilised T. Rex dinosaur skeleton.
The museum has finally confirmed its reopening date will be September 16, with new safety measures and opening hours in place.
Visitors will follow a one-way route around the museum's exhibitions, taking in all the amazing objects in the safest way possible.
The museum will now be open from 11am to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday, and while admission remains free visitors are advised to book timed tickets ahead of their visit.
The new building project Hello Future is now underway, which means some galleries are closed - they are the Ancient Worlds, Living Cultures and Money galleries.

Alistair Hudson, director of Manchester Art Gallery, said: "A museum without people is a pretty lonely place, and we can't wait to welcome our staff and visitors back. Although we can't open all of the galleries just yet, we hope the chance to see a few 'old friends' and the city’s rich, historic collections in a safe and peaceful environment will be a welcome treat for everyone after spending so long in lockdown."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-14--Liverpool coach Klopp says CAS siding with Man City is bad for football

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Manchester City 's victory at the Court of Arbitration for Sport ( CAS ) was not a good day for football .
City were slapped with a two-year ban from the Champions League in February after being found guilty of seriously misleading UEFA and breaching Financial Fair Play ( FFP ) rules .
However , the club insisted that the process had been `` flawed and consistently leaked '' and that an impartial judgment would clear their name .
After a three-day hearing at CAS , whose authority is so respected that almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pep Guardiola and his side are free to play in the Champions League again after it was deemed that most of their alleged breaches were `` either not established or time-barred '' .
The decision has led rival clubs and some of their supporters to question the suitability of FFP .
And while Klopp is happy City will have more competitions to divide their attention next season , he was less than thrilled with the verdict .
`` From a personal point of view , I 'm happy that City can play Champions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the league , if City has 10-12 games less , I do n't think anybody has a chance , '' he started .
`` But I do n't think it was a good day for football yesterday , to be honest .
FFP is a good idea .
It is there for protecting teams and the competition , so that nobody overspends and have to make sure the money they want to spend is based on the right sources .
`` I 'm from Germany , we have a club basis not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get your licence every year .
FFP is a good idea - but it 's not up to me to judge it ( City decision ) I just think we should all stick to FFP rules .
I really hope it stays .
It gives some borders .
`` If the richest clubs and countries can do what they want to do , then that makes it difficult .
That would lead to a world league , it would depend on who owns the clubs and not the names of the clubs .

Birdwatchers have travelled from across the UK to catch a sighting of a “magnificent” bearded vulture.
The species has been captured by photographers at Howden Moors in the Peak District on Sunday morning.
It’s only the second time the bird of prey has been spotted in the UK, with the first being in 2016.

“He spotted it on Friday night so I went down on Saturday morning. I missed it by about 20 minutes, and went back on Sunday morning. I left home at half three in the morning,” Mr Bowell, who lives in south Lincolnshire, said.
“They were sublime views, I just never expected it. When we got there after missing it on Saturday it was elation.
“I never expected to get anything like those views, it was mind-blowing. Quite unexpected and quite remarkable.”
The bird is thought to have been wild-born from a population that was reintroduced into the wild in the Pyrenees.
Mr Bowell said he will not attempt to photograph the bird again while it stays in the area.
“I just don’t think I’ll be able to repeat it, so unless it roosts somewhere a bit more accessible… I’ll wait for the next rare bird to appear,” he told PA.
