Mourinho suffers huge setback as Stoke hold Man United

Joe Allen silenced Manchester United fans after scoring the leveler to earn a point for Stoke City at Old Trafford. Anthony Martial had put the Red Devils ahead with a typical curler in the 70th minute to reward a hard fighting United side. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ander Herrera both went close with a low shot that completely beat the goalkeeper but not the post.

Paul Pogba was also denied by the wood-work from a header late on into the match as Mark Hughes men held on but remain winless in the league as it ended 1 – 1.


Goalkeeper David De Gea will be biting his nails for the Potters goal after the Spanish number one failed to handle the ball before Allen pounced on the rebound to salvage a point.

United will have themselves to blame after chances came begging in the first half as they were denied with strings of saves from Lee Grant. The Red Devils go into the international break with 13 points from seven matches and are placed sixth on the log as face almighty Liverpool in the 8th round of Premier League matches.
