Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes struck a sublime volley to earn a 1-0 victory at Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday as Erik ten Hag’s side ended a three-match losing streak in all competitions.
The Portuguese got on the end of a pinpoint Jonny Evans pass on the stroke of halftime to dispatch a first-time finish past Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
Evans had already had a goal disallowed for United although Burnley had plenty of chances of their own and were unfortunate to be behind at the interval.
The visitors were more comfortable after the break with Burnley’s patient football unable to create clear-cut chances.
United’s third victory of the season lifted them into eighth place in the standings with nine points from six games. Burnley have one point from five games and are bottom on goal difference.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
66’ Burnley have another ball looped in towards the box, but Onana is again able to gather easily. They’re just struggling slightly now to find a way back into the game.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
64’ McTominay had a shot from distance after Burnley tried to clear their lines, but it was always wide of the target.

63’ Slightly worrying for Burnley fans here as they have struggled to create anything clear-cut and have just started to look to punt it forwards as the game enters the final half hour.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
61’ There’s a great break from Tresor down the right, but he has to delay the final pass with no one in the box and when the cross does come in Onana is able to come and gather without being under any real pressure.
Chance! Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
59’ Al Dakhil was in the perfect place and made the best challenge to prevent Hojland having a tap in!
The Burnley defender tracked his man well and made the right decision to hook the ball clear away from the United forward from what would have been a great goalscoring opportunity.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
59’ Burnley are being forced to play backwards, there has been some nice approach play but just four goals in four games and you can see why tonight - the finishing touch just hasn’t been there.
Yellow card! Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
56’ That was slightly idiotic from Reguilon given the new rules, he calls for a yellow card for the Burnley man and receives one himself in return...
Yellow card! Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
55’ It looks very odd on the possession stats, but United have the lead and look content to not have the ball.
Koleosho has gone into the referee’s book for a foul on Casemiro.
Burnley 0-1 Manchester United
53’ Burnley being allowed time on the ball here, as Erik ten Hag’s men just sit back in their own half, but there are slight chances, as when the ball does come forward United’s defence has not been the most clinical.
