TalkSPORT host and former Welsh striker Dean Sanders spoke about United's performance against Burnley, but he felt the rest of the team had disappointed the strikers.
Saunders: "At some point, they were supposed to be 3-0 ahead, but they were getting farther and farther away. When they encounter a little adversity, it seems that they will retreat and collapse. If you ask Cristiano Ronaldo, 'Who is the worst midfielder you've ever played with in your career?' Fred and McTominay probably wouldn't be too far away from these candidates. People started pointing the finger at Cristiano Ronaldo, but he was playing with a couple of fools, some of whom weren't quite in tune with him. ”
"Every time the ball was moved near the penalty area, they put the pressure on Burnley and the ball would pass to a very good player like Pogba, Rashford, Jessica Jesse, Cristiano, they had a chance to shoot. United's defence four is not bad, but there is no 'engine' in midfield and none of their midfielders are up to par. ”
Commentator Jamie O'Hara: "United didn't do well enough to have Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, £600,000 a week, playing Against Burnley in the rain, and Cristiano Ronaldo could only sit there and watch! I don't think Manchester United have that mentality, that winning mentality that Manchester United used to have, where opponents used to think 'we're not going to be beaten by Manchester United today, we're going to try to get something out of the game' If you face Manchester United now, home or away, you think 'we're going to beat them, we're going to beat them'. ”
