Cristiano Ronaldo jumped onto the Turf Moor pitch in the 68th minute. Burnley had already tied and Manchester United were looking for a goal that would give them the three points. But I never arrive. Asked about the Portuguese’s effectiveness in attack, his coach replied: “It’s not just about Cristiano Ronaldo. He should score more goals, it’s obvious. I think we’re creating enough scoring plays, but it’s not just a problem for Ronaldo, but for all the attacking players. We didn’t score enough goals.”
Tuesday’s duel in the Premier League was too similar to that of the previous Friday in the FA Cup. The Red Devils ratified their initial dominance with a goal, but were then allowed to draw by rivals from other leagues. Manchester United created chance after chance, but only managed one goal in each game. They were eliminated from the cup and lost fourth place in the league.
“If you take into account how many chances we created, something we also need to improve on in the coming weeks, we had the Burnley game where we wanted it for 70 of the 90 minutes.. It was something very similar to what we talked about before the match, but we have to find the rewards and the results that we deserve.” reflect.
