Manchester United 3:2 Burnley

Post-match discussion


Sat, 30 August 2025

That was a fecking struggle.

Against a team thats likely to be relegated no less.

If we persist with this manager, we will have yet another lost season on our hands.
 
Can anyone give me an objective view on it?
honestly, the football we played at times was a breath of fresh air. we shouldn't have conceded, and only did so due to sleepy defence and a questionable keeper error

we are an injury in attack away from being null and void

amorim really needs much better players but he won't get them
 
First half was the best I've ever seen us play.

Zz and Mainoo shifted the game in Burnley's favour. They are not ready to play.

Mbeumo is a monster of a player. So good!
 
Can anyone give me an objective view on it?
We were better overall. Lot of comedy defending with Dalot losing his player for 1st goal and too many mistakes for 2nd goal. Amad, Zirkzee and Bruno should have doubled the lead but missed some great chances.
 
Should have scored more… I’m sure the attackers will eventually start to click and bang them in. 3pts is 3pts.
 
Can people stop crying? We deserved to win by a big margin if not for the missed chances.

We have celebrated far more matches like this under our previous managers. It’s not the opposition that matters, it’s winning when every effing football god is against us and the ABU media.
You'll soon realise the whole season is going to be a lot of missed chances and close games

this ain't a one of those days, where it didn't go in the net, it always happens and will continue to happen
 
We’ve all watched that same match about 20 times.

The midfield dies around the 60th minute every single game. Rinse and repeat. Turns into a game of Basketball except we’ve a square line of defenders. Feels like you’re watching Soccer Aid

How to combat it? A random CB change.
 
I’ve followed the game on Sky but sounds like we absolutely battered them and made very hard work of the match. This team really needs a game where we ply just like that but actually knock in 2 or 3 before half time to get rid of the nerves in the ground. But, a much needed 3 points that allows Amorim to survive one more match at least. Sounds like we got a little lucky with an offside call, they said about a coupe of cm offside on Sky.
 
We were excellent in the first half. In general, we were good in the second also but our defence is always nervy when teams attack. On the whole we deserve the win.

Hopefully today’s game, people stop demanding that Mainoo start games. He doesn’t offer anything to our game - too slow, doesn’t make tackles, doesn’t cover ground, no creativity. Sure he’s neat and tidy in tight spaces but you need more than that. He’s 20 so he has time to improve but for the love of god, stop making it sound like he should walk into the first team.
 
Can't wait for Sesko to be fully integrated. 2 really good headed chances. Much better. I dont understand how can we miss so many chances? Mbeumo started to look the part too.
 
3 best United players today:

1) Mbeumo
2) De Ligt
3) Yoro

3 worst United players today:

1) Dalot ( I know, he made an assist, but he was poor the rest of the match).
2) Bayindir
3) Zirkzee.
 
Didn’t see the game but that seems a big win. We can go into the international break a bit happier. No illusions though, things are still very precarious.
 
Happy with the 3 points. We played well in the first half and created loads of chances but didn’t score enough.

Was really poor how the moment Burnley actually try and play like a PL team they get two goals in a half.

I think the alarming thing for us is none of our weaknesses were exploited in this game and we came up against pretty average players and it still ended up being a struggle. So as much as we did play well to begin with this on paper should be one of our easiest games all season.

Mbeumo was fantastic though, created so much and got a goal too.
 
Can anyone give me an objective view on it?
We created a lot of decent chances. Worked really hard, looked good for long periods. But the mental fragility is still there. Tentative in defending set pieces and around the box. Should have been comfortable but wasn’t.
 
How anyone watch this game and put the blame on the manager is baffling.

And the player FC lot pipping up for Kobbie, you see him right?

, buzzing for the win
 
Expected to lose, relieved to win. About sums it up.
 
Can anyone give me an objective view on it?

We dominated them in the first half and had a myriad of chances to score at least 2-3 goals. But due to the players being very poor at finishing, we couldn't capitalise.

Then we conceded two from set pieces again. Only to be bailed out by VAR in the dying seconds of the match with a penalty from a shirt pull on Amad.
 
A good game despite the late drama. Obviously not great to concede the lead twice but we played well, dominated, and it was good so see us create so many big chances for a change. Amorim would not have deserved the sack after this game even without the late winner, and I say that as one of his biggest critics.

Excellent summary and take. We're a nervous wreck of a team though.
 
I was enjoying the performance, then we started shitting the bed, by the end I was just hoping for the result and all the joy had evaporated. Thankfully we got the three points
 
Delighted with the win but Jesus that was ridiculous.

Mbeumo and Cunha make such a difference.

That took some guts from Bruno with the penalty at the end.
 
Convinced if we can bring in a keeper we'll see a big shift. It's a small margins thing but it's costing us so many games, we're not good enough to outscore all these errors constantly.
