Fernandes volley helps United edge past Burnley

Bruno Fernandes netted a tremendous volley to give Manchester United a crucial 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.

In the early stages of the match, both Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes had promising opportunities for Manchester United. 

Burnley also had their moments, with Zeki Amdouni forcing a smart save from Andre Onana with a header within the first ten minutes. 

Amdouni later struck the post, demonstrating Burnley's high-energy approach that occasionally troubled United. 

Despite Burnley's dominance, United almost took the lead against the run of play. Jonny Evans, making his first start for United in over eight years, headed in a corner from Sergio Reguilon after 25 minutes. 

However, VAR ruled it out for offside, as Rasmus Hojlund was obstructing James Trafford

As the first half neared its end, Aaron Ramsey's long-range shot tested Andre Onana, but it was the visitors who had the final say. 

Jonny Evans sent a long ball over the top, which was met by Bruno Fernandes, who scored a spectacular volley, giving the Red Devils the lead at half-time.

The second half was more balanced, with both teams displaying energy in their attacks, although clear-cut scoring chances were scarce. 

Neither side came close to scoring in the second half as United secured a crucial victory, with Onana was only forced into one meaningful save - comfortably collecting Aaron Ramsey's curling strike from 20 yards.

This win ends a three-match losing streak in all competitions from Erik ten Hag's men and lifted them to eighth place in the Premier League table with nine points from six games.

Meanwhile, Burnley has only one point from five games and currently sits at the bottom of the table on goal difference.
