What a finish! We were 2:0 down with 10 minutes to go and fought back to draw. That's Man Utd. We never gave up and pulled out a result against the odds.
Yet ultimately it was a night of frustration at Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's winning run came to an end, but Lindelof's late goal denied Burnley's first win at Old Trafford since 1962. They defended resolutely from start to finish and took their chances when they came, Barnes smashing in the opening goal after 51 minutes and then Wood making it 2:0 after 81'.
We threw everything at Burnley to get back into the game and Pogba's late penalty gave us hope and then Lindelof scored in injury time. In truth our attack never really clicked like it has in previous games but credit to Burnley's defence which stayed organised and frustrated us time and again.
Lots of positives to take from the game. We never gave up and didn't know when we were beaten to grind out a result. Under previous managers we would have gone out with a whimper in a game like that.
