Manchester United enjoy a motivating win against Burnley

Manchester United cemented their hopes of top four as they take down a depleted Burnley by 3-1 as they cut their distance to 4th-placed Arsenal to four points and even enjoy a game advantage over them.

Currently, Red Devils occupy sixth place on the table after their performance in the first half of the season remained underwhelming even after adding their former star Cristiano Ronaldo to their star-studded roster. Ralf Rangnick's side promptly built a good lead early in the match with Scott McTominay’s goal and Ronaldo’s fiery display. The team even ran into some good luck with Ben Mee’s own goal but later Aaron Lennon pulled one back in the first half itself to spoil the party mood at Old Trafford who overcame their disappointing draw against Newcastle to end the year with a win.
