'Miserable season' - National media react after Manchester United drop points against Burnley

Manchester United drew 1-1 at home to Burnley on Saturday after conceding another late goal to drop more points.

Antony gave Erik ten Hag's side the lead with ten minutes of normal time remaining to put United on course for three points against their relegation-battling opponents. But the Clarets equalised late on after referee John Brooks awarded a penalty after consulting VAR following an Andre Onana error.

The result leaves United sixth in the table with seventh-placed Newcastle just a point behind after their 5-1 win at home to Sheffield United. Below is what some of the national media made of Saturday's game...

Ian Whittell of the Times wrote: "Antony, the Brazilian winger whose miserable season has reflected so many of the problems to beset Manchester United and their manager Erik ten Hag, scored his first league goal in over 12 months, only for his side to drop yet more points in disappointing fashion.

"VAR spotted that André Onana had punched Zeki Amdouni in the head as he attempted to deal with a frantic late Burnley attack, a decision that looked clear to the referee John Brooks once he visited his pitchside monitor. Amdouni, a substitute, recovered and converted the 87th-minute penalty himself to keep alive Burnley’s faint hopes of avoiding relegation.

"It had appeared that Antony’s first goal in the Premier League since April 16 last year would be enough to secure all three points after he pounced on a mistake by Sander Berge and advanced before converting with an excellent left-foot finish on 79 minutes."
