Birthday gift for Sir Alex
Sir Alex Ferguson’s presence in the stands adds at least a few kilos to the weight of the game. If we add to this circumstance – the Scotsman has his 80th birthday on December 31 – we can talk about the Manchester United vs. Burnley match as a matter of state importance. Fortunately, the Red Devils did not disappoint their legendary coach, who was able to leave Old Trafford on Thursday night with a smile on his face.
Ferguson may also have other reasons to be happy as Manchester United end 2021 in a good style. Thursday’s game against Burnley just looked good. United made interesting counterattacks, Jadon Sancho presented himself positively, whose goal was taken by the self-attacking Ben Mee. IN game United have a few positives, especially when you compare today’s game to their recent performance at St. James Park, where the Red Devils have lost points to Newcastle.

Of course, meeting Burnley was not perfect. A goal conceded is proof of how Ralf Ragnick’s defense can easily lose concentration. The shooter was Aaron Lennon, who, despite many years of experience in Premier Leaguehe has never scored a goal against Manchester United. Until today. Burnley itself also broke, as it took more than 310 minutes to hit the net in a total of four matches.
List of McTominay
Paradoxically, Manchester United today took advantage of Bruno Fernandes’ sideline, as another midfielder Scott McTominay could shine on the pitch. The Scot looked particularly good in the first half as he finally started shooting at Old Trafford. Statistics for the first 45 minutes? Most: enter the opponent’s sector, accurate shots, passes in the third period, won duels. In addition, he is most often fouled.
The 25-year-old acted a bit arrogant with the goal scored – he finally took Cristiano Ronaldo’s ball from under his feet, but the later shot relaxed the atmosphere before it had time to thicken. The rest of the McTominay later repaid – his bomb from the 35th minute ended with a successful rebound of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Not such a bad situation
Manchester United after the 20th round, he has 31 points on the account. However, the Red Devils have two matches backlog, so their current position in the table, sixth, may still improve. Ralf Ragnick’s pupils end the year on a positive note. In December in league they won four games and tied once. Manchester United now have a few days off, returning to the game on January 3, when they face Wolves in the league game.
Burnley’s situation is much worse. The Clarets are in the relegation zone, having just one win and 11 points after sixteen games played. Long to Sean Dyche fight to keep in Premier League.
