Summary: Burnley - Manchester United 1: 1 (Sport 1)
Big disappointment at Manchester United after the 1: 1 yesterday (Tuesday) against the table lock Burnley.
Paul Pogba gave the lead to Ralph Rangnick's side 18 minutes later, but Jay Rodriguez equalized for the host (48), who could have even come out with more than a point.
After the surprise relegation from the English Cup against Middlesbrough in the sub-league, the Red Devils at least hoped to return to the winning track after the loss in the previous round against West Ham, but also lost points against the latter and saw the Hammers pass them in the table and drop them to fifth place.
The one who suffered a lot of fire - again - is Captain Harry Maguire.
The brake failed to stop the goal scorer for Burnley, who spun him before rolling inside.
Beyond that, Maguire was in disarray during the goal scored by Rafael Varane in the 13th minute, causing his disqualification.
Manchester United fans - who have repeatedly expressed their displeasure with Maguire's ability in the past, have responded en masse across the social network and team pages.
"Sell him, he does not fit the level", "the £ 80 million paid for him is a scandal, it needs to be investigated", "Maguire is the worst captain in the history of Manchester United".

Manchester United finished 1-1 at Burnley and dropped to fifth place

Manchester United coach Ralph Rangnick commented on the two goals disqualified for his team: "We scored three goals. I watched the second goal disqualify us in the locker room. Hakwon signaled a foul ten seconds after the incident. It was a very soft decision."
On the game itself: "I think we played great in the first half. We completely controlled the game, scored three goals, but two of them were disqualified. We had a good bursting attack half a minute before the goal we conceded, during which we defended badly. A point after such ability is just not enough ".
Harry Maguire: "We wanted to control the game from the start, but in an away game against Burnley you can't control for 90 minutes. We had to close the game. Like in the game against Middlesbrough we absorbed after the opponent's pressure. "Very. We came out in the second half a little carelessly. We had enough time in the game to go back and score the winning goal."
On Varan's goal that was disqualified: "From what I understand they said he was different. At first they said there was an offense, but the referee said that's not why he disqualified the goal. He said I interrupted the move, I don't know."
What went through maybe a little under the radar, is the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo started the game on the bench, came in as a substitute in the 68th minute and had very little impact on the game.
After last night's encounter with the Portuguese Burnley he completed five games in a row without scoring (including Middlesbrough in the Cup).
This is the longest drought of CR7 since 2010.
