Manchester United vs Watford: Red Devils held at home

Cristiano Ronaldo fired blank for the eight time this season as Manchester United were held to a goaless draw on Saturday at Old Trafford by Watford.

The match has further frustrated Man Utd’s top-four aspirations.

United appeared to have found their goalscoring touch during a 4-2 win at Leeds United last Sunday.

But they reverted back to what has often been their type under Ralf Rangnick, dominating possession and chances but ultimately disappointing in front of goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Elanga and Paul Pogba were all guilty of spurning opportunities as struggling Watford clung on to claim a valuable point in a result that will serve as a further boost to United’s rivals in the chase for Champions League football.
