Match statistics show that Burnley performed well in this match by controlling the match in terms of ball possession and shots. Burnley made it difficult for Manchester United to develop their game. Vincent Kompany team often managed to get the ball into the Manchester United penalty box, but Manchester United's defense was still alert to block attacks by Burnley players.
Even though Manchester United managed to get full points at home to Burnley, it doesn't mean that the quality of their game has improved, I think Manchester United was luckier in this match compared to Burnley. There has been no change in Manchester United's performance after last losing to Bayern Munich, this victory must be used as an evaluation by Ten Hag to increase the enthusiasm of the players even though they have just achieved full points from the promoted team in the EPL.
If they were to Judge the winners based on performance then Burnley deserved to win yesterday, they outplayed Manchester United in both halve, at some point it felt like United was a conference league team, their players were confused, out of possession most times, and were very poor in decision making especially Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay who were making most errors in the match, Rashford refused to create good chances by releasing the ball on time to Rasmus Højlund, while McTominay was poor with his making and allow the Burnley players to easily get past him, making the midfield more porous.
Burnley played with class and Dominated the ball, just that they lacked a good finisher to put the ball into the net however their performance was very brilliant for a team that just got promoted but they were so unlucky to concede a goal,but when it comes to team spirit and communication on the pitch they were more brilliant than United.
