"Red Devils" temporarily escape difficulties!

Lukaku scored his first Premier League brace since making his league debut with the Red Devils against West Ham in August 2017.

Burnley have never been a worthy opponent of the "red devils", especially when they are ranked 19th in the rankings. But when Man Utd are showing poor erratic form, losing 2/3 of the first round of the season, they need a leader to lead the players on the field, something that captain Valencia lacks.

The Portuguese coach is still receiving support from executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward as well as the Glazer family and former club legends such as Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs. However, if Man Utd do not improve their performance soon, it will be difficult for him to stay until Christmas.

Star experience

Mourinho made some changes compared to the 0-3 loss to Tottenham in the previous round. Victor Lindelof and Alexis Sanchez returned to the starting lineup while Fellaini replaced Fred in midfield. Meanwhile, the home team Burnley rotated a series of positions compared to the draw with Olympicos in the Europa League 2 days ago. The most surprising was the strange 19-year-old striker Dwight McNeil being in the starting lineup.

While the MU players were mentally tense, without many dangerous passes, from a simple attack on the left wing, Sanchez accurately crossed the ball from Lukaku and headed it into Joe Hart's net from close range, opening the score for Man Utd. Including the match against Burnley, Sanchez has only scored 3 goals in 21 appearances for MU since moving from Arsenal at the beginning of the year. But at Turf Moor, he has somewhat shown his important role.

After taking the lead, the away team Man Utd continued to dominate the game. With the mobility of Luke Shaw and Sanchez, MU focused on drilling the left wing of Burnley, center-back Ben Mee let Lukaku score a double before the end of the first half. In addition to 1 assist for Lukaku to open the score, Sanchez also had 4 important passes. Belgian striker Lukaku in the first 45 minutes with 3 shots leading to 2 goals. This is his first double in the Premier League since his debut with the "Red Devils" against West Ham in August 2017.

Disappointed Rashford

In this match, Lukaku scored 2 goals but the person who was mentioned the most was Rashford. He came on for Sanchez, only played 10 minutes on the field, touched the ball 11 times, and won 1 penalty. But on the 11m mark, Paul Pogba could not beat goalkeeper Joe Hart in a day of solid play. This is the first time since 2015 that Paul Pogba has missed a penalty. Up to now, out of 9 penalty kicks, midfielder Pogba has missed 2, a fairly high rate for a football star. Goalkeeper Joe Hart also beat Lukaku 3 times in one-on-one situations thanks to his very quick reflexes.

For the "headbutt" on a former MU defender, Phil Bardsley, Rashford will be banned from playing for 3 matches.

With the "headbutt" on a former MU defender Phil Bardsley, Rashford will be banned for the next 3 matches including 2 against Watford, Wolves in the Premier League and 1 in the League Cup against Derby County. Rashford became the first Man Utd substitute to receive a red card in the Premier League since Marouane Fellaini against Hull City in May 2015. After the match, coach Mourinho himself had to admit that the striker, who is not yet 21 years old, was too naive in this situation.

Coach Mourinho made the right decision when he brought Fellaini to replace the new Brazilian Fred. The Portuguese coach knew that the Turf Moor team only had a way to approach David De Gea's goal with long and high balls. Bringing a "tower" like Fellaini onto the field neutralized this style of play relatively easily, even when playing with one less player. In particular, every time Burnley had a set piece situation, Fellaini was always the winner in the air battle.

Before the match with Burnley in the sky of Turf Moor, MU fans hired a plane to hang a banner: "specialist in failure" to satirize Vice President Ed Woodward. Manucians are dissatisfied because MU Vice President, Ed Woodward, refused to spend money to bring in the names that Coach Jose Mourinho wanted, causing his beloved team to have a bad start. But after the match, Coach Mourinho was very manly:“During the game I didn't look up at the sky. But this afternoon Ed Woodward won, he won 2-0”.What a "special person"!
