Paul Pogba scores but Manchester United drop out of Champions League places with draw at Burnley

Paul Pogba's first goal since January 2021 gave United a first-half lead, but Jay Rodriguez responded for Burnley almost immediately after the restart. Ad/> After losing their FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough despite having 30 shots on goal, Man United seemed determined to bounce back in style as they took their frustration out on Burnley in a one-sided first half.

Premier LeagueSancho in a 'vulnerable position' at Man Utd, warns Ferdinand9 HOURS AGO The visitors — who had Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench with Edinson Cavani fielded in his place — had the ball in the back of the net three times in the opening 45 minutes. Unfortunately for the Red Devils only one goal registered on the scoreboard. There was controversy in the 14th-minute when Raphael Varane's fine header from Bruno Fernandes' whipped free-kick delivery was chalked off.

It took an age for a decision to be made but after rewatching the incident on the pitch side monitor referee Mike Dean adjudged the offside Harry Maguire to block off Rodriguez. It failed to deter United however and four minutes later they were ahead. Luke Shaw made a run down the left before cutting it back for the unmarked Pogba whose controlled finish left Nick Pope with no chance.
