The crisis could have been total in Manchester United during the international window. Three days after elimination in EFL Cup by an English D4, Grimsby Town (2-2, 12-11 at TAB), the formation of Ruben Amorim was on the verge of a third underperformance in the Premier League after his defeat against Arsenal (0-1) and his zero result in Fulham (1-1) a week ago. The reception of Burnley, a promoted, almost turned to disaster in Old Trafford.
A penalty by Bruno Fernandes registered in the 97th minute saved the Portuguese coach from a possible sidelining. The video referee identified a jersey draw on Amad Diallo at the entrance to the surface and the central referee gave a slightly generous penalty in full time of the game in order to save Man United.
Before that, Leny Yoro and his teammates achieved a rather positive first period in the face of the training led by former Montpellier Maxime Estève. A CSC by Josh Cullen on a stopped kick by Bruno Fernandes rewarded the domination of the Mancunians (27th), who could have scored a second goal.
First goal in PL for Mbeumo with United
Problem for Amorim: his attacker Matheus Cunha came out on injury (muscular), replaced by Joshua Zirkzee (31st), Benjamin Sesko being launched until the 72nd minute. Kobbie Mainoo was launched as soon as the locker room returns in place of a Mast Mason again disappointing.
Manchester United especially suffered during the Claret revolt, which thus equalized for the first time by Lyle Foster (57th). At the start and a long ball on the left, Diogo Dalot found Bryan Mbeumo for his second goal of the week and his first in PL with his new club (57th). But Burnley brought the scoring to 2-2 thanks to Jaidon Anthony (66th). United was miraculous thirty minutes later …
Ruben Amorim remains on the hot seat as much as MU finds the English championship in two weeks with a derby against Man City at Etihad Stadium!
