Erik ten Hag believes that Manchester United’s hard-fought 1-0 victory against Burnley on Saturday could mark a turning point in their challenging season.

Bruno Fernandes, the United captain, delivered a match-winning moment with a stunning volley from Jonny Evans’ long pass just before half-time.

This crucial victory elevated Manchester United to eighth place in the Premier League table and alleviated some of the mounting pressure on manager Ten Hag. The win also showcased the team’s togetherness, fighting spirit, and unity in the dressing room.

Despite Zeki Amdouni hitting the post for Burnley and forcing United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana into an impressive save in the first half, the Clarets are still searching for their first Premier League win since their return to the top flight.

As a result, they find themselves at the bottom of the league table.

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany remained optimistic, emphasizing the team’s character and potential for growth despite the challenging start to the season.
