United got back to winning ways with a 1-0 win away at Burnley on Saturday night.

It wasn't a classic, but with a team missing up to 12 first team players the 3 point was all that mattered.

Jonny Evans thought he had given United the lead on 25mins but VAR ruined the celebrations as his headed goal was ruled out for offside against Hojlund. 

Burnley had hit the post before pniged a beautiful left footed ball over the top for Fernandes to volley into the far corner. It was a goal of the month contender, a brilliant goal.

United were toothless in front of goal, but the clean sheet and the 3 points are very welcome.
