The United captain produced a match-winning moment of quality when he connected sweetly on the volley from Jonny Evans' long pass just before half-time. Victory hauls the Red Devils up to eighth in the Premier League table and eases the mounting pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
Zeki Amdouni hit the post for Burnley and forced the under-fire Andre Onana into a fine save in the first-half, but the Clarets remain without a win on their return to the Premier League and sink to the bottom of the table.
United's injury crisis meant that 35-year-old Evans started at centre-back for the first time in his second spell at the club. The Northern Irishman went on to play a major role at both ends as, on top of teeing up Fernandes' stunning strike, he had a goal ruled out and helped marshall a United defence that had conceded 10 times in their last three games.
