Strachan happy going down to United

Southampton manager Gordon Strachan claimed he was happy with his side’s performance despite seeing them go down to their second consecutive Barclaycard Premiership home defeat against Manchester United at St Mary’s today.

The Saints provided United with plenty of cause for concern – especially in the first half – but were ultimately undone by two goals in the space of seven minutes from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs.
