Southampton's defeat at the hands of Manchester United has left them with a difficult task ahead of them, as they look to secure their Premier League survival. The Saints were beaten by a goalless draw on Sunday, which means that they now sit just two points above the relegation zone.

The defeat was not without controversy, as the referee awarded a penalty for handball in the area after a challenge from Scott McTominay. However, it is unlikely that this will have any significant impact on the outcome of the game, as both teams played well and had chances to score.

With only three games remaining in the season, Southampton need to find a way to turn their form around if they want to avoid relegation. They will be hoping to bounce back against West Ham United on Wednesday night, but there is still much work to do.

If Southampton fail to secure their survival, it could have serious consequences for the club. The club has been struggling financially for some time, and a relegation would likely lead to further financial difficulties.

Despite the challenges, Southampton fans remain hopeful that their team can turn things around and secure their place in the top flight next season. The club has shown resilience in the past, and there is no reason why they cannot do so again.
