Manchester United secured their first win of the season by beating Burnley 3-2 in the Premier League<\/a>. But this wasn’t a reassuring victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of eyes on Ruben Amorim right now, with Man Utd under pressure to perform. The Red Devils had endured one of the worst starts to the season possible, taking one point from their opening two league games. Not to mention the shock Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Grimsby Town in midweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People were already talking about when Amorim would be sacked. Defeat to Burnley would have tipped the scales according to some. Fortunately for Amorim, he did get his side over the line against the Clarets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are still a lot of problems. Like Man Utd not knowing how to score goals. Which feels weird to say after a game in which they scored three.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Man Utd’s big problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Red Devils have scored four goals in the Premier League this season, but only two have come from Man Utd players. And one was a penalty. Rodrigo Muniz put into his own net in last weekend’s draw with Fulham, while Josh Cullen scored an own goal in the win over Burnley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Man Utd are the first side ever to see both of their first two Premier League goals of a season be own goals. Granted, both own goals came in the aftermath of shots, but that’s still a unique record to hold. Fortunately, the run did stop at two as Bryan Mbeumo opened his Premier League account for Man Utd after Lyle Foster had equalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
