Erik ten Hag suffers the embarrassment of being booed by his own fans in latest Man United low ebb – as Andre Onana’s error gifts Burnley a 1-1 draw - timelineoffuture
September 22, 2024

A late rush of blood by Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana threw Burnley a relegation lifeline at Old Trafford.

United had been set to take the points when Antony capitalised on a mistake by Sander Berge after 80 minutes to put the home side in front.

But Onana – who had made a string of saves earlier in the afternoon – blotted his copybook by charging into Zeki Amdouni as he came for a cross.

Referee John Brook was advised by VAR to check his monitor and Amdouni made no mistake from the spot with only three minutes of normal time remaining.

The result left United in sixth place while Vincent Kompany’s team moved to within two points of safety with Nottingham Forest facing Manchester City on Sunday.

United’s famously flimsy defence then gave up another chance inside the box for Foster who couldn’t get his feet sorted out and stabbed wide. 

Vincent Kompany was on his feet in the technical area urging encouragement and it took a worldie save by Onana to keep the scores level after 35 minutes.

Josh Cullen set up Foster whose header was heading for the top corner before Onana reached it with a terrific spring and tip around the post.

It was the same match-up again when Sander Berge slid in Foster. The forward only had Onana to beat but the big Cameroon stopper narrowed the angle and smothered his shot.

A goalless first half wasn’t what watching Olympic superstar and United diehard Usain Bolt had wanted to see on his Old Trafford visit.

He was probably wondering if Marcus Rashford might have made an impact. The struggling England forward was absent again having suffered a knock during last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final, since when he’s sent a late-night social media post to defend himself against online abuse.

United started the second half brightly. Garnacho wriggled his way past Lorenz Assignon but from his cutback, Antony couldn’t convert. The Brazilian then had a shot parried by Muric who spread himself to stop Rasmus Hojlund capitalising on the rebound.

Garnacho then opted to fire on goal when released by Fernandes whilst Hojlund waited in the box for a cross that never came.
