Manchester United managed to halt their dreadful run of results that threatened to plunge them into a crisis of unintended consequences thanks to their narrow victory at Turf Moor against promoted Burnley by Vincent Kompany.
United have lost three in a row in all competitions, and for the first time they have conceded three goals or more in those three games since 1978. In the Premier League they have lost just three of the first five rounds, but now they took it all back. the stop and won without brilliance thanks, yes, to a great goal Bruno Fernandes.
Bruno Fernandes had the first chance of the game, neutralized by the goalkeeper. James Trafford, but Burnley did not give up and within minutes they took possession and put United in trouble with drive and quality Aaron Ramsey and former Spanish player Luca Koleosho.
Onana braced herself
Andre Onana, criticized for his latest performances and especially for the first goal conceded on Wednesday in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, he proved himself with a save to take out a point-blank header from Zeki Amdouni (9′).
Soon, the Swiss striker stood alone against Onana after receiving a short Ramsey, but his cross shot just went wide (16′). Burnley played with more intensity than a sometimes soulless United team, they combined well in midfield but He lacks punch. And that pays off.
The goal was disallowed to Evans, who assisted Bruno
The first scare came from United with a corner which Jonny headed into the net. Evans, who at 35 years old is a surprise starter (he did it for the first time as a ‘red devil’ since his previous stage in 2015), due to the many injuries sustained by coach Erik ten Hag. But the referee consulted VAR to disallow the Northern Irish centre-back’s goal for offside. Rasmus Höjlund (24′).
United has not expressed reliability but Bruno Fernandes He came to their rescue before the break with a great goal. Evans this time put in a long ball which the Portuguese connected with a wonderful volley with his right foot. A wonderful cross shot that Trafford can’t do anything about (45′).
United is not threatened
In the second half, United risked very little against a worthy opponent. Both teams had almost no scoring opportunities. Burnley, still winless and with just one point to their name, only caused some concern at set pieces.
while, Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, with a great bicycle kick at the end taken by Trafford, they were the only ‘red devils’ to try to extend the result, as Höjlund, Signed for 75 million euros this summer, he is showing good qualities but is yet to score in the Premier League.
