Match Summary: Burnley vs Manchester United Manchester United have stopped the rot but were unconvincing for most of a hard-fought game with Burnley, who will feel themselves unlucky to lose


by the single goal. Burnley had more shots, more corners, and more of the ball, but United had the game’s one moment of true class when Jonny Evans floated a lovely long ball over the


defence and Bruno Fernandes volleyed home with unimpeachable technique just before half-time. The veteran Evans, back in the team as United deal with an injury crisis at the back, had


earlier put the ball in the Burnley net from a corner but Var correctly ruled it out for a block on the keeper. Burnley came their closest when Aaron Ramsey sent Zeki Amdouni through, but


the Swiss 22-year-old hit the post. They had the United defence under pressure throughout.  Overall, this was an uninspired effort from United but Eric ten Hag paid tribute to “the team


spirit” shown in the narrow win. Burnley, still on one point from five games and now bottom of the nascent table, were left to rue a missed opportunity to claim a major scalp. Burnley vs
