MANCHESTER UNITED stars arrived to training low in morale following their drab draw against Southampton - and their faces told the full story.

The Red Devils were sluggish and far from their best after failing to break the deadlock against Mauricio Pellegrino's men.

Jose Mourinho lambasted the referee's performance yet again but his stars struggled to deliver following more dropped points at home to Burnley.

Arriving at United's Carrington training complex, only Mourinho could afford a smirk as the others shared a glum look.

The Portuguese boss cut a relaxed figure, chatting away with United staff, despite being under pressure with his side 15 points behind league leaders Man City.

One of those looking most miserable was Henrikh Mkhitaryan who has found his Old Trafford future under serious threat.

The Armenian international was given a rare start against the Saints, just his 11th of the season, but lasted just 65 minutes before he was hooked off.

Against Burnley, Mourinho decided enough was enough at half-time.
