Following Manchester United’s error against Burnley, Erik ten Hag fled with nowhere to hide – five talking points

In the match between Manchester United and Burnley, Zeki Amdouni’s late penalty equalized Antony’s second-half goal, increasing the pressure on Erik ten Hag, whose future with the team is uncertain.

Manchester United began the game strongly, creating numerous opportunities to score first, including close chances from Alejandro Garnacho and Antony. Christian Eriksen missed wide, and Bruno Fernandes hit the woodwork as the Red Devils pressed for an early goal.

Despite Manchester United’s early dominance, Burnley had opportunities to take the lead before halftime, but Andre Onana’s excellent saves kept them from scoring. As the game progressed, United regained control, and Antony capitalized on a mistake to give them the lead in the 79th minute.

Manchester United’s lead was short-lived as Burnley quickly equalized. Andre Onana’s actions turned the tide, as he recklessly charged out and fouled an opposition player in the penalty box instead of going for the ball. Zeki Amdouni capitalized on the penalty opportunity, leveling the score by firing the ball home from the spot.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Manchester United with a missed opportunity to solidify their position in the top six. Here are five key talking points from the game…

Onana redeemed himself after facing criticism for his previous mistake by making a series of impressive saves during the first half against Burnley. His performance started strong, making a routine stop to deny David Datro Fofana within the first minute of the match.

Burnley posed a consistent threat throughout the first half, and they nearly scored in the 34th minute when Lyle Foster’s close-range header seemed destined for the net, only for Onana to demonstrate impressive reflexes to deny him.

Shortly after, Onana came up big again to maintain his clean sheet. Sander Berge played a superb pass to Foster, who had a one-on-one opportunity with Onana, but the United goalkeeper stood tall and made an excellent save.
