Manchester United 0-2 Burnley : 3 Massive Talking Points From The Match at Old Trafford

While the Red Devils leak their wounds against Burnley at home, Burnley basked into the euphoria of their away win as Sean Dyches men shock many book makers in the course of the contest.

As Manchester United trade tackles and lost 0-2 to Burnley, the match produced some findings as the season progresses for both sides.

Following the win for Burnley against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, we evaluate the massive talking points from the match at Old Trafford.

Consecutive Victory For Burnley

Manchester United have been beaten at home by the visiting side Burnley 0-2 at Old Trafford. It was a goal they duly deserved as Chris Wood scored in the first half and the 39th minutes to give his side the lead.

It would not end there as they doubled their advantage with a second goal and a brilliant one from Jay Rodriguez a minute before the hour mark.

This proves how good the visitors they are, as they continued from where they left off last week when they defeated high flying Leicester City at home, Turf Moor following a 2-1 win.

United Needs A New Signing

As Manchester United were beaten at home against Burnley certain reality were made known to the club.

With Rashford out injured and the club short of inspiration, fresh legs would be needed as they look to find a response in subsequent games.

This would be a thing the club must handle as soon as possible to remain in contention for a possible trophy at the end of the season in the FA Cup as United next fixture.

The need for new signing beckons as Rashford would be out for close to two months.

Even when he returns, he will need time to hit top gear as the transfer window is very key in saving the Red Devils season as at the moment.

United’s Uninspiring Display

The Red Devils may have lost Marcus Rashford (injury) but weren’t bereft of quality as players like Juan Mata, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and French forward were in action in the United mix.

This is a cause for concern as they look as bit lackluster against Burnley, in the final third. This can be an evidence for failing to find the net just like in the match against Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
