Two second-half goals saw Manchester United edge out a brave Southampton 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round.

United again failed to fire on all cylinders and were forced to rally after a poor first-half showing.

Southampton had the better of the possession in the first half and showed no sign of nerves as they put pressure on United down the flanks.
