Manchester United failed to delight its fans for the Christmas holidays after it recorded a third consecutive game from live rugby video without a victory. This time the `red devils` made 2:2 with the Burnley sensation at Old Trafford. Ashley Barnes (3 `) and Stephen Defur (36 `) gave a two-goal lead to the break, but in the second half Jessie Linggard appeared as a reserve and saved his team from a loss. He lowered in the 53rd minute, and in the added time brought the point of the `red devils`. But if tomorrow Manchester City beat Newcastle as a guest tomorrow, the `citizens` will be tied to the top with 15 points in advance. The great news of the hosts was that Zlatan Ibrahimovic started as a champion with Romulus Lukaku. This happened for the first time. Luke Shaw, Markos Rohho and Marcus Rashford also started. Antony Marsial stayed outside the group.
Ashley Barnes replaced the injured Chris Wood at the top of the Burnley attack.
The duel started very badly for the hosts. At the beginning, Roho received a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind in the penalty area. Gudmundsson centering from free kick, Lukaku failed to clear, got mixed up in front of the small penal field. Barnes took advantage and directed the ball into the goal - 0:1. At the 12th minute before De Gea`s door it was hot. Scott Arfield detected the Gudmundsson air center, but the ball hit the crossbar and came out.
The Red Devils forced pressure and Pope saved Shaw and Pogba`s blows.
In the 24th minute Lukaku scored well on the right and centered. Ibrahimovic tried to jerk with a scissors but collided with Rashford and did not get anything. Several corners followed, but they did not lead to anything more dangerous. This was the 37th minute when United fans were spanked for the second time. Steven Defour executed a superb direct free kick, turned the ball over the wall and sent it to the upper left corner of De Gea`s door - 0:2.
The hosts immediately reacted and until the break they created three hundred per cent opportunities, but the goal did not fall. First, Mie cleared Rashford`s shot from the goal. A few minutes later, Ibra entered the penalty area, but at the last minute his shot was blocked by Long. In the 43rd minute Pogba shoots very well from the border of the penalty area, but the ball flies past the far beam. Jose Mourinho took a double shift for the start of the second half. Mhhtaaryan and Linggard appeared in the game, replacing Rogo and Ibrahimovic.
In the 50th minute the `red devils` did not diminish. Two or three meters away, Jesse Lingdar finds the centering of Young on the right. But he hit Nick Pope, then the ball ricocheted in the crossbar, but he never entered the door. Two minutes later, Linggard narrowed after he technically scored a fifth, a new shot of Young and sent the ball to the far corner - 1:2.
In the 61st minute Lucaku missed a good chance. The Belgian missed Rachford`s dangerous center and could not reach the goal. 20 minutes before the end Pogba shoots dangerously from a direct free kick but the ball passes over the door.
In the first minute of the added time, which was five minutes, United equalized. Mata cen?
