The Manchester United footballers defeated Burnley 3: 1 in the 20th round of the English league and moved up to sixth place in the table for the score for West Ham. All three goals were scored in 35 minutes of the first half.
Burnley, who had played her first match since December 12 due to a forced coronavirus break, remained in 18th place on the edge of the relegation zone, two points from the rescue.
Manchester corrected the impression after a previous unsuccessful match, in which he played only a 1: 1 draw on the penultimate Newcastle field on Monday.
This time he managed the role of favorite against the outsider. United sent McTominay into the lead after eight minutes. In the 27th minute, Sanch’s shot went into Mee’s own goal, and less than ten minutes later, Ronaldo increased his eighth goal of the season to 3-0.
Before the break, the guests lowered thanks to Lennon, and no more goals were scored in the second half. The United players at Old Trafford closed this year and gave former coach Alex Ferguson an early birthday present. The club icon celebrates 80 years on New Year’s Eve.
