Just days after a humiliating League Cup second-round loss at fourth-tier Grimsby, United were on the brink of another damaging result after promoted Burnley twice came from behind at Old Trafford. Amorim had admitted after the Grimsby debacle that he sometimes thinks about quitting and often "hates" his players. His mood would have been even darker before United captain Fernandes came to the rescue seven minutes into stoppage time."
"United's first win in three league games this season will give Amorim some much-needed respite heading into the international break, although questions will still be asked of the Portuguese coach after his side's latest erratic display. Luck was on United's side when they took the lead in the 26th minute. Casemiro's header thumped off the crossbar and hit Burnley captain Josh Cullen on the back, ricocheting over the line before Martin Dubravka could claw it away."
Bruno Fernandes scored a stoppage-time penalty to secure a 3-2 victory for Manchester United over Burnley, easing pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. United trailed twice after a chaotic home performance that followed a humiliating League Cup exit to Grimsby. Casemiro's header was fortunate to cross the line after hitting a Burnley defender, while Burnley responded through Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony. Bryan Mbeumo briefly put United ahead, and a lengthy VAR check overturned play to award the decisive penalty following a pull on Amad Diallo. Despite the result, questions remain over United's inconsistency and Amorim's future.
