Jadon Sancho forced a Burnley own  goal in the 3-1 win for Manchester United  but Thierry Henry wants much more from  the England winger. He criticised the £73million summer signing , who is yet to really impress at the Old  Trafford club. Henry's frustration at the talented former  Borussia Dortmund man stems from the  fact that he regularly cuts inside. In the studio as an analyst for Amazon  Prime, he said: 'Those are the types of  players you want to watch but he is playing  within himself. 'When you are in a one-on-one, you  should take a player on. But it was Luke  Shaw who was forcing him to take on those  one-on-ones. 'What happened to beating your man  on the outside? They often want to go  too much inside. Just beat your man on  the outside and be lethal.' After Scott McTominay had put United  ahead on Thursday night, Sancho came  up with his decisive contribution of the  game. He danced ...

  Scott McTominay put in a man of the match  performance today as Manchester United cruised past Burnley 3-1 in the Premier  League at Old Trafford. The Scotsman scored United’s first goal  with a well-placed pass into the net and  saw another spectacular effort tipped onto  the woodwork by the keeper – leading to  a Ronaldo tap-in for another goal – and a  third saved by Hennessy with his fingertips. The successful strike was “McSauce”’s first league goal since February – a run of 28  games – and well worth waiting for. Scott McTominay’s opener at Burnley is  his first league goal since February 2021. A great finish to break the deadlock 😅🔥  pic.twitter.com/C0SElJfyFO — Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) December 30, 2021 McTominay is clearly happy at home.  His last seven goals have been scored  at Old Trafford. 7 – Each of Scott McTominay's last seven Premier League goals have been scored  at Old Trafford, ...

  Jadon Sancho got plenty of sympathy  from Manchester United fans after seemingly scoring his first goal at Old Trafford –  only to have it cruelly taken away from him. Recalled to the side after having to settle  for a place on the bench at Newcastle, the former Borussia Dortmund forward put  United firmly in control as they doubled  their lead against Burnley. Having gone in front thanks to Scott  McTominay’s opener, Sancho then put the hosts firmly in the ascendency as he cut inside from the left before directing his effort goalwards. The ball nestled in at the far post, via a slight deflection from Ben Mee, leaving Sancho to  celebrate his first goal at Old Trafford since  signing in the summer – or so he thought After some deliberation, it was confirmed  by the Premier League that the goal had  in fact been awarded as a Mee own goal,  cruelly denying Sancho of his memorable  moment in front of the Streford...

 

  Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start for  Manchester United against Burnley tonight  (December 30). The Red Devils will take  on Sean Dyche's side in a Premier League  encounter at Old Trafford. Manchester United will be keen to  return to winning ways, having drawn their  last game. Ralf Rangnick's side needed  a second-half equalizer from substitute  Edinson Cavani to rescue a point against  19th-place Newcastle United. Cristiano Ronaldo himself had an extremely  quiet outing against the Magpies. The  Red Devils marksman failed to impose  himself on the game and was largely  ineffective. Ronaldo, along with Bruno  Fernandes, also received plenty of criticism  for storming down the tunnel straight  after the game without applauding the  traveling fans. Heading into this game, Manchester  United find themselves in seventh place  in the Premier League. The club are  seven points o...
