From the man behind the football king to the football king.

The team's continuous victories have made the atmosphere of the Manchester United team very good, and the players are also in a good mood.

After a pleasant Christmas, Manchester United faced the first game of the second half on Boxing Day. The opponent was Burnley, whom they had not met in the first half.

If Manchester United can defeat Burnley at home, they will complete the victory over the remaining 19 teams in the Premier League!

However, since the international match day in November, Manchester United has been in an ultra-high-density double match a week, and the physical fitness of the players is not optimistic. Today's game is only separated from the last game before Christmas. For about 11 hours, the players in the main lineup have not recovered their physical fitness, so Mourinho can only use another lineup to play today's game. All players, including Bruno, who played in the game against Leicester City before Christmas, were rotated.

In fact, the players in this rotation only rested for six days. They also played in the League Cup semi-finals on the night of the 20th.

Burnley took the lead just three minutes into the game. Rojo was given a yellow card for fouling Hendrick outside the penalty area. Guerrero made a cross from the free kick on the left, McTominay's header was blocked by Kevin Long, and Barnes scored from close range in the small penalty area.

Conceding a goal at the beginning of the game, the Manchester United players were a little confused. Burnley's morale was greatly boosted, and they launched waves of offensives mainly against the away team.

In the 12th minute, Gerwitzmenson made a pass from the right. Fellaini failed to clear the ball. Arfield volleyed the ball from 12 yards and the ball hit the top edge of the crossbar and popped out.

………………

This crossbar kick shocked everyone in Manchester United, and it felt like they were surviving a disaster.

Subsequently, Manchester United's performance improved somewhat and they also organized some offensives. However, Ashley Young and Mata's inevitable shots were saved by Burnley goalkeeper Pope.

Manchester United, which missed great opportunities in a row, suffered another heavy blow in the 36th minute of the game. Ashley Young fouled Arfield and Diver's free kick from 25 yards went directly into the upper left corner. Manchester United fell behind 0:2 at home.

While the visiting team players celebrated wildly, Old Trafford fell into silence.

Manchester United fans have forgotten the last time they were two goals behind at home.

Mourinho's face on the sidelines was also very ugly.

Although he was mentally prepared to face a tough battle or even a falling behind when he fielded an all-substitute lineup, falling behind by two goals in the first half was somewhat beyond Mourinho's expectations.

While the Burnley players were celebrating the goal, Mourinho called Manchester United's captain Ashley Young to the sidelines and signaled the team to fully recover and strengthen in the last few minutes of the first half. The defense handled the remaining minutes of the first half.

With the entire Manchester United team retreating to strengthen their defense, Manchester United finally did not concede any more goals in the first half.

When the first half of the game entered stoppage time, Mourinho left the field first.

………………

No one knows what happened in the Manchester United dressing room at halftime. But it is inevitable that Mourinho will be furious. After all, since he took charge of Old Trafford, he has never been so embarrassed at home.

At the end of the halftime break, Manchester United made two substitutions. Bruno and Rashford came on as substitutes, while Rojo and Ibrahimovic were replaced. Manchester United changed from 442 in the first half to 343. Ashley Young, Phil Jones and Damian formed a back three, with Bruno, Herrera, Fellaini and Mata in the midfield, and Lingard and Mike. Tominet and Rashford form a front three.

At the beginning of the second half, Burnley wanted to take advantage of the kick-off opportunity to attack Manchester United. After all, the second half of the game has just begun, and the attention of Manchester United players may not be focused yet. If they can take this opportunity to score another goal, then the possibility of them becoming the first team to defeat Manchester United this season is really high.

The football was quickly passed to the feet of Gwürzmensson. The 27-year-old Iceland international's best position is the right winger, but today he played as a forward and moved on the left wing. He can play both left and right. He is a versatile player on the wing. After receiving the ball, he followed his habit and planned to break through Manchester United's right back.

He did succeed. Ashley Young was easily passed by his change of direction, but the ball was intercepted immediately after him. The person who intercepted his ball was Herrera.

………………

Herrera, who intercepted the ball, did not continue to control the ball, but turned around and passed the football to Bruno in front.

Bruno turned around as he caught the ball. When the football rolled over, he also adjusted to face the direction of the attack.

Because they know the importance of Bruno, Burnley players do not dare to neglect when it comes to defending Bruno. Seeing Bruno receiving the ball, twenty-eight-year-old experienced defensive midfielder Jack Coker pressed forward.

At the same time, another midfielder, Hendrick, was in a protective position behind and was ready to pounce at any time to steal.

Bruno did not want to tangle with the two opposing players in the midfield. Manchester United's style is offensive and fast, and it is unwise to waste time in the midfield at this time. So as soon as he turned around, he passed the football out again. Jack Cork missed and Hendrick's protection was in vain. He followed the football and rushed to the wing. Bruno passed the football to Lingard on the right.

Lingard did not dribble the ball along the wing. He sent the football horizontally to the center of the penalty area. McTominay had just retreated to receive the ball.

As the center forward of this Manchester United team, McTominay is also a key figure for Burnley to mark, so when he saw him retreat, a Burnley center defender followed him.

McTominay did not let the central defender mark him personally, but directly passed the ball back to Bruno.

When Bruno caught the ball, he didn't make too many adjustments. After stopping the ball with his left foot, he used the outside instep of his right foot to pass a very penetrating direct pass.

These two movements connect very quickly, because they use the outside of the instep and there is no movement of turning the hips. Naturally, the opponent cannot judge what Bruno is going to do through this movement.

Bruno's pass did not give Burnley's defenders and midfielders time to react. Jack Cork, who had planned to turn around and pounce, could only watch the football leave Bruno's feet and run towards their penalty area.

The football flew through the ribs of Burnley's centre-back and right-back. Behind them, Damian, who had just stepped in from the full-back position, had already reached him and he caught the ball!
