LONDON - Manchester United was repeatedly thwarted by Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in a scrappy 0-0 draw on Sunday but will go into the second half of the Premier League season re-established as a top-four team. Blue Jays Rowdy Tellez Jersey .On the slide a year ago in sixth at the midway point, United is now third after extending its unbeaten run to nine matches and primed to return to the Champions League under Louis van Gaal.With leader Chelsea and second-placed Manchester City also drawing, the result was a missed opportunity for United to cut the seven-point gap.Radamel Falcao, Robin van Persie and Ashley Young were all denied by the France goalkeepers saves. Although Phil Jones headed the ball into the net in the first half, the United defender was adjudged to be offside.It was the best performance of Manchester United this season in the first half, Van Gaal said. We could have scored four or five goals and we didnt reward ourselves.The blame was not put on Uniteds misfiring strikers but on the football authorities for scheduling the game less than 43 hours after the teams finished their Friday fixture in Englands traditionally congested post-Christmas program.It is scientifically proven the body cannot recover in 48 hours, said Van Gaal, who still retained the same players who started in Fridays 3-1 win over Newcastle. When you, as a Football Association, allow, you have seen whats its like ... in the second half it wasnt football anymore it was a struggle for life.But both teams had the same recovery period, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino pointed out.I never complain when the opponent is in the same condition as you, Pochettino said.And Tottenham went a fifth game unbeaten to provisionally move above Arsenal into sixth, just a point from fourth-place Southampton.It required Lloris to be alert throughout, with the goalkeeper first denying Falcaos 18th-minute shot after the Colombia forward was fed by the lively Juan Mata.Lloris was beaten when Mata whipped in a free kick but spared by the post. When the rebound came off Tottenham defender Ben Davies, Lloris prevented an own goal before Vlad Chiriches cleared Falcaos attempt from the goal-line.The ball did cross the line from Jones header, but he was offside.The finishing then let down United as a counterattack ended with a shot from Falcao that failed to trouble Lloris, who came also came off his line to prevent a dithering Van Persie from shooting.Lloris had to be at full stretch to turn Youngs shot wide before the end of a half when Tottenhams goal attempts were restricted to Harry Kanes ineffective close-range effort and Andros Townsend from distance.Townsend again tried and failed to beat David de Gea with a stinging shot from the outside of the area in a second half when neither side looked capable of scoring.I said in the dressing room when you cannot win such type of matches when you are the better team ... its very difficult to be the champion at the end of the season, Van Gaal said.
