Manchester United visited Burnley in what was a far-from-easy transfer with the only objective the three points.
For Vincent Company’s team, this was the toughest test in these matches after the start against Manchester City in the first match.
Burnley was in possession and had more clearance in the first minutes. Amdouni had the first serious chance with a header in the zones with the cross from Connor Roberts and Andre Onana made a crucial save.
The next minutes spoke for United, who had more freedom to play and see forward through the target of Trafford.
Aaron Ramsey passes the ball for Amdouni in the 17th, with the attacker who had a 1v1 chance with Onana and finds the left post with a finesse shot.
Gudmundsson left the pitch due to an injury for Mike Tresor which cost to Company’s number of replacements.

Jonny Evans scores for Manchester United after a corner kick executed by Sergio Reguillon. VAR checked the goal and the goal was ruled offside. Rasmus Hojlund was offside and interfered in the game.
Rashford passed for Hojlund in the 29th, but the Danish international sent the ball wide. Manchester United was the second team in the first half and the coach must change something to get the best out of his team.
Koleosho tried with the shot in the 39th but his attempt went wide. It was not just about trying this Burnley had something more to show in the first 45 and they wanted to turn this into a goal. Furthermore, the home side wanted to give themselves a boost by trying with both wings.
Ramsey tried in the 42nd, but Andre Onana had everything in control.
But was United, who with a super Bruno in the first minute of extra time, scored with a volley. Jonny Evans was the player with the perfect cross.

Bruno Fernandez was offside in the third minute of extra time and his pass for Hojlund was not useful. The first half ended with United in advantage, but with Burnley playing better.
The second half started and United was already in the opponent’s half. Rasmus Hojlund had the chance to find the first goal in the 51st but he was unable to catch the ball. Reguillon received a yellow card in the 55th.
Fernandez-Rashdford-Hojlund combination in the 59th almost produced the second and would have been such an opener for Hojlund, who should wait for his first goal in this Premier League season.
Dalot and Hojlund initiate an attack on the right side of the pitch, with Fernandez controlling the ball and Scott McTomminay shooting from the range, but Trafford saves the ball in the 64th.
Burnley started to react, but the corner taken by Tresor was not enough in the 68th.
Company decided to make three substitutions and Zeki Amdouni left the pitch for Jay Rodriguez. Also, Aaron Ramsey left for Sander Berge and Luca Koleosho walked off for Jacob Bruun in the 73rd minute.
More chances for Burnley…
Jay Rodriguez had the first chance in the 75th, but Onana saved his shot inside the zone.
Reguillon was off for Raphael Varane in the 79th minute and United sought to defend the precious goal of Bruno Fernandez. Eric Ten Hag had many options but he decided to make a defensive substitution not to break the attacking balances and to secure his team behind.
Brownhill took a corner in the 82nd and Snader Berg shot wide. Burnley had more chances with 10 minutes to go.
Rodriguez made a run in the 84th with Josh Brownhill’s pass, but Raphael Varane cleared in a corner kick.
Josh Brownhill left the pitch for Manuel Benson in the 87th and Burnley wanted a point in this game.
Evans walked off for Sofyan Amrabat in the 89th with the midfielder who made his debut in the Premier League.
Hojlund had a chance in the 90th, but his shot was blocked by Jordan Beyer.
Four minutes were added on but the result remained unchanged and United had a win in a difficult transfer.
