Man United struggle continues as they fail to beat relegation-threatened Burnley

Stephen Oladehinde 17:12 - 27.04.2024

Manchester United were only able to get a draw against relegation-threatening Burnley despite taking the lead late in the game.

The Red Devils were looking to build on their 4-2 win on Wednesday against Sheffield United who are in the relegation zone.

Burnley who are looking to find a way out of the relegation zone went to Old Trafford to get a 1-1 draw against Erik Ten Hag’s side.

As it happened

Manchester United named an unchanged line-up from the team that defeated Sheffield United at Old Trafford on Wednesday. England midfielder Mason Mount returns to the bench after missing the last two matches through injury.

On-loan striker David Datro Fofana is the only change from the Burnley side that beat Sheffield United at Bramall Lane seven days ago, with Charlie Taylor dropping to the bench.

The game started with both team looking nervous but Manchester United picked up the pace and looked threatening.

However, they could not get the ball into the back of the net as both teams settled for a draw at halftime break.

The second half started and both teams continued from where they left off, with several chances being wasted.

However, it was not until the 79th minute before Manchester United opened the scoring. Antony scores his first goal of the season after latching onto a terrible Burnley pass in midfield, bursts into the box and slots a shot into the bottom corner.

It did not take long before Burnley was handed the equaliser from the penalty spot after an error from Onana.

Zeki Amdouni wins the penalty and then scores it. Pandemonium in the away end as the Burnley striker sends Andre Onana the wrong way.
