Manchester United Defeats Burnley 2-0

DBasia.news –  After winning 4-1 against Newcastle United in the Premier League, Manchester United maintained momentum through a 2-0 win over Burnley in Week 20 of the Premier League.

Playing at Turf Moor, Burnley headquarters, Sunday (12/29), Manchester United won 2-0 through goals by Anthony Martial (44 ‘) and Marcus Rashford (90 + 5’). The victory was added to special through the clean sheet records.

“It’s different when your team doesn’t concede. It’s important for us to win by writing a clean sheet,” said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United’s manager, as reported by BBC Sport.

“You may not necessarily win even if you can score one goal. However, if you do not concede (goals), the chance to win is greater,” continued the Norwegian manager.

Naturally, Solskjaer was grateful for the clean sheet records. The last time United didn’t conceded a goal in the Premier League occurred in February. The minor trend in conceding goals stopped 14 times in a row.

“Burnley’s home is one of the challenging stadiums to win and also a clean sheet. This victory means a lot to us,” added United senior player, Ashley Young.

Rashford has scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season. Man United’s last English player to score more goals than Rashford is Wayne Rooney (17 goals in 2013-14).
