Premier League side Southampton have sacked coach Mark Hughes despite picking up a draw against Manchester United on the weekend.

The Saints, who just avoided relegation last season, are currently 18th on the log and have not won any of their past 10 league matches.

They took a 2-0 lead early on in the game against United on Saturday, but ended up drawing 2-2 with Jose Mourinho's side.

As a consequence, the club has now sacked Hughes.

Hughes took charge of 27 games at Southampton, winning just six of them, while losing 13 and drawing eight.
