"Burnley went ahead 13 minutes in when Ayden Heaven inadvertently turned Bashir Humphreys' cross into his own net but United having dispensed with Amorim's much-maligned 3-4-3 formation, responded excellently. They saw two shots cleared off the line and Lisandro Martinez had a goal disallowed for a foul before Benjamin Sesko scored twice in 10 second-half minutes to turn the game on its head."
"The former Scotland and United midfielder oversaw an entertaining 2-2 draw at Burnley on Wednesday evening, marking his first match as interim head coach after the sacking of Ruben Amorim two days prior. Familiar defensive frailties were exposed in the Red Devils' ranks, allowing the struggling Clarets score twice despite having just a single shot on target to United's 10 (and seven total efforts to their visitors' 30)."
Darren Fletcher oversaw his first match as interim head coach, a 2-2 draw at Burnley. United reverted from Amorim's 3-4-3 to a back four, producing improved attacking volume but exposing familiar defensive frailties. Burnley took the lead through an own goal by Ayden Heaven before Benjamin Sesko scored twice early in the second half to give United the lead. Jaidon Anthony levelled for Burnley and United failed to find a late winner, with substitute Shea Lacey hitting the crossbar. Fletcher will be in charge for the upcoming Brighton FA Cup tie while the club assesses longer-term managerial options.
