The Red Devils leave Burnley with a timid success (1-0).
Manchester United recovered 1-0 on Saturday at promoted Burnley following two successive defeats, a timid start which brings the Red Devils back to 8th place before the final matches of the sixth day of the English championship.
Captain Bruno Fernandes scored the winning goal with a superb volley, a few moments before half-time (45th), receiving a long pass from Jonny Evans, surprise starter in a defense Mancunian undermined by injuries.
The 35-year-old center back, hired on the last day of the transfer window by his former club (198 matches between 2006 and 2015), was also almost the first hero of the match, but his headed goal from a corner (25th) was canceled due to a foul committed by a teammate.
Evans started in the center alongside Victor Lindelöf, in the absence of Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire in particular. Raphaël Varane came on in the 79th minute, almost a month following suffering an injury once morest Nottingham Forest on August 26.
Manchester United is giving itself a little breathing room following three defeats in a row: two in the league once morest Arsenal and Brighton (3-1 each time) and one in the Champions League, Wednesday at Bayern Munich (4-3).
Burnley, on the other hand, moves back one box to occupy last place with a point, like Sheffield (18th) and Luton (19th).
