Manchester United Player Ratings Against Burnley
Manchester United had Andre Onana to thank for keeping Burnley at bay as the first half went on. First, he tipped over Wilson Odobert’s long-range effort, before producing a magnificent reflex save to deny Foster.
Onana kept out Foster again while Alejandro Garnacho fired into the side-netting four minutes before half-time, as both sides returned to their dressing rooms still seeking the breakthrough.
Garnacho continued to carry United’s greatest threat after the break down the left flank. The Argentine winger shot narrowly wide after a swift counter, before Muric pushed away his powerful volley from a corner.
After much pressure from United in the closing stages of the game, they scored the opening goal in the 79th minute, as Antony intercepted Sander Berge’s loose pass before racing away and slotting past Muric.
But there was to be a late twist three minutes from time, when Amdouni coolly rolled home the equaliser from the penalty spot after VAR ruled Onana had fouled the Burnley striker.
Here’s the Manchester United players ratings from the game
GK: Andre Onana – 6/10 – Another unlucky outing for the United goalkeeper. He made three excellent saves in the first half, but conceding a penalty with a reckless attempted punch in the closing stages ended up costing his team two points.
LB: Diogo Dalot – 6/10 – Didn’t get forward with the ball as much as he would have liked.
CM: Kobbie Mainoo – 5.5/10 – Always looking to receive the ball in midfield, even in tight space, and keep things moving. His departure midway through the second half was audibly booed by some fans.
CM: Christian Eriksen – 6/10 – Struggled to move the ball quickly enough to beat Burnley’s lines.
RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 5.5/10 – Got into a really good position on the edge of Burnley’s box, but he took too long to wind up for the shot and the ball was nicked away.
CB: Casemiro – 5/10 – Needs must, again. Stepped into midfield with the ball a few times to have long-range shots that were charged down. Mostly did well but his questionable header back led to Onana coming for the ball and conceding the penalty.
CB: Harry Maguire – 6/10 – His slack pass into midfield handed Burnley one of their many first half chances. Looked vulnerable against pace.
RW: Antony – 7.5/10 – Steadily involved throughout the game. It looked as though his hunt for a goal would continue after a weak finish from close-range, but his eventual strike was well taken.
AM: Bruno Fernandes (c) – 7/10 – Struck the post in the first and continued to be United’s chief source of creativity after his form in recent weeks.
LW: Alejandro Garnacho – 6.5/10 – At his most dangerous running at defenders, who struggled to predict whether he would turn inside or out. Went close a few times.
ST: Rasmus Hojlund – 5/10 – A physical afternoon in which hardly saw the ball over 65 minutes.
