Erik ten Hag identified Manchester United failing a week ago but didn't fix it this week

Manchester United suffered another disappointing afternoon as they were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Burnley at Old Trafford.

In a typically chaotic game, there were plenty of chances at both ends but the deadlock wasn't broken until the 79th minute when a poor pass from Sander Berge was capitalised on by Antony, who raced clear and finished smartly.

But United are incapable of holding on to leads and making life easy for themselves and Andre Onana's error allowed Zeki Amdouni to equalise from the penalty spot.

Both teams could have won it in the final few minutes and Onana was forced into a smart save at his near post from Wilson Odobert to keep the scores level.

The same old failing

"I have to teach my players," Erik ten Hag said a week ago when he was asked why his Manchester United team kept throwing away leads and conceding goals in clusters. It seems no progress was made on that module this week.

Having edged their way in front in an even game with 11 minutes to go, United should have been good enough and mature enough to shut up shop. They weren't.

Their most experienced player, Casemiro, made a poor decision in heading the ball back towards his own goal and Onana compounded it by flattening Amdouni rather than taking the ball. United's lead had lasted eight minutes and around a minute of that was taken up by a VAR review.

As much as Ten Hag wants the chance to fix those familiar failings, the fact they are still happening at this stage of the season doesn't reflect well on the work of the manager or his coaches this season.
