Man Utd vs Burnley: First Game Post-Amorim – Report & Analysis

Without a coach, Manchester United conceded a draw this Wednesday against Burnley.

Always the same. Manchester United scored a third straight draw in the Premier League, at penultimate Burnley (2-2) on Wednesday, two days after the dismissal of coach Ruben Amorim, whose successor has not yet been found.

The “Red Devils” only obtained one point at Turf Moor, as against the other poorly ranked Wolverhampton (1-1) and Leeds (1-1) before that, and this series of poor performances keeps them in sixth place (32 pts).

They were managed on Wednesday by current coach of the under-18 team, Darren Fletcher. The club management is still working to find a replacement for Amorim, at least for the rest of the season. The Portuguese coach was fired on Monday due to disappointing sporting results and tensions with certain managers.

Man Utd conceded a very unlucky own goal from Ayden Heaven (13th) before turning the game around with a double from Benjamin Sesko (50th, 60th). But Jaidon Anthony equalized (66th) for the “Clarets”. Burnley (19th, 13 pts) continues a twelfth match in a row without a victory in the league: nine defeats and three draws.
