Premier League: Manchester United slip out of top four after draw at Burnley

Manchester United dropped out of the Premier League’s top four after a 1-1 draw against struggling Burnley. Ralf Rangnick’s side dropped to the fifth spot after Jay Rodriguez cancelled out Paul Pogba’s opener at Turf Moor.

With Cristiano Ronaldo left on the bench for 68 minutes, Manchester United were made to pay for not making more of a dominant first half after Pogba put them in front with a thunderous strike from the edge of the area in the 18th minute.

Two minutes after the break, Wout Weghorst left Harry Maguire trailing and slipped in Rodriguez, who held off the United captain, to dink the ball beyond David De Gea.

“Again we played an excellent first half. We controlled and dominated the game. We scored the three goals but two were disallowed,” Rangnick said.

“In the second half we were not aggressive enough. A frustrating night for us because we should have won that game comfortably.”
