Manchester United locked horns with Burnley at Turf Moor earlier tonight as they hoped to pick up a good result on their travels. The Red Devils were dominant in the first half and took the lead in the 18th minute when Paul Pogba scored with a decent finish. Man United controlled the game well and went into the half-time interval 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Jay Rodriguez scored the all-important equaliser for the Clarets just two minutes into the second half. Ralf Rangnick’s men failed to be decisive in the final third and were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw away at Lancashire.
Let’s take a look at how each Man United player performed during the match against the Clarets.
GK: David de Gea – 6.5/10
The Spanish keeper made a couple of good saves but couldn’t do much about Rodriguez’s goal in the second half.
RB: Diogo Dalot – 7/10
He was solid at the back and made two good chances in the final third.
CB: Raphael Varane – 6.5/10
Varane cleared the danger when needed but couldn’t command the game the way he would have liked in the second half.
CB: Harry Maguire – 6/10
He made a good start to the game but was too slow to react to the danger at times in the second 45 minutes

LB: Luke Shaw – 7/10
The English left-back got stuck in with a couple of tackles and engineered a few promising opportunities for his teammates to score.
CM: Paul Pogba – 7.5/10
Pogba was a constant threat going forward but didn’t track back to defend when required.
CM: Scott McTominay – 7/10
He anchored the midfield on his own and offered very little in the Burnley half.
RW: Marcus Rashford – 7/10
Rashford showed a few flashes of his brilliance but lacked the cutting edge in front of the opponent’s goal.
CAM: Bruno Fernandes – 7.5/10
The Portugal international caused all sorts of problems for the Burnley defenders but didn’t do enough to register a goal.
LW: Jadon Sancho – 6/10
He fashioned some meaningful openings for his teammates but there was no goal for him tonight.
ST: Edinson Cavani – 6/10
Expect for a few bright moments, Cavani was mostly ineffective during his time on the field.
Substitutes:
ST: Cristiano Ronaldo – 6/10
Ronaldo wasted a couple of decent chances to find the back of the net.
CAM: Jesse Lingard – 6/10
His impact on the game was minimal.
LW: Anthony Elanga – N/A
He hardly had any time to influence the game.
