PREMIER LEAGUE : MANCHESTER UNITED VS BURNLEY – 30/08/2025 (PHOTO – BRUNO FERNANDES SCORES)

BURNLEY MADE 318 PASSES WITH A 70% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 6 SHOTS, WITH 4 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING 2 CRACKERS FROM LYLE FOSTER AT 55 MINS., (BELOW)

AND JADON ANTHONY AT 60 MINS. IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST MAN U YESTERDAY (BELOW)

MAN UNITED MADE 508 PASSES, WITH AN 82% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 62% POSSESSION), AND 27 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A STUNNER FROM BRYAN MBEUMO AT 57 MINS. (BELOW)

AND THE MOST AMAZING LATE BEAUTY FROM A PENALTY IN STOPPAGE TIME AT 90 +7 MINS. FROM BRUNO FERNANDES (BELOW)

WHICH RUBEN AMORIM STILL COULDN’T BRING HIMSELF TO WATCH AS THERE WAS SO MUCH RIDING ON IT, WITH MANY SAYING “HE WAS ALL OF US”… (A BIT LIKE IN THE FILM SPARTACUS)

….SO, ALONG WITH AN EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE OWN GOAL FROM BURNLEY’S JOSH CULLEN AT 27 MINS.,  MAN UNITED WON THE MATCH 3 – 2!

EVEN AFTER THE MATCH, RUBEN DIDN’T LOOK THAT MUCH HAPPIER WHILST APPLAUDING HIS TEAM (BELOW)

OR EVEN IN HIS PRESS CONFERENCE, WHEN HE SAID…

“I AM FRUSTRATED LIKE ANY MAN U FAN BY THE TEAM’S MISSED CHANCES BUT WAS HAPPY WITH THE EFFORT OF THE PLAYER’S” HIGHLIGHTING BRYAN MBEUMO’S IMPACT IN PARTICULAR.  REFERRING TO HIS PREVIOUS COMMENTS ABOUT “SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE”, HE SAID THAT HE HAS A PASSIONATE NATURE, AND THAT HIS EMOTIONS ARE LINKED TO RESULTS, SOMETIMES LEADING TO THOUGHTS OF QUITTING AND OTHER TIMES WANTING TO STAY FOR YEARS.  

SO NOW, AFTER THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK OFFERING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO RECHARGE, A FEW MORE SMASHERS LIKE YESTERDAY SHOULD HOPEFULLY SEE RUBEN AMORIM “TURN HIS FROWN UPSIDE-DOWN…”  

THAT’S IF HE HASN’T BECOME TOO ACCUSTOMED TO HIS NEW “SPARTACUS” ALIAS! 😂
