Bayindir howler proves both keepers must go but Mbeumo bright

A LATE Bruno Fernandes penalty scraped Manchester United their first win of the season after twice throwing away the lead against Burnley.

United should have been out of sight by half-time after an exciting half of free-flowing football, but cheap mistakes almost cost them dearly.

Ruben Amorim simply couldn't lose this as the last time United were defeated by a newly promoted side was the 4-1 defeat at Watford that got Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacked in 2021.

But this error-ridden showing wasn't on the manager as terrible mistakes from the backline and a howler from Altay Bayindir gave Scott Parker's side shock momentum out of nowhere.

Here's how SunSport's Katherine Walsh rated the United players as old habits returned at Old Trafford.

Not sure how Bayindir - or Andre Onana for that matter - can stay at the club.

After a quiet first half, the Turk dropped another howler as his sprayed ball gifted Burnley a second.

But another game, another goalkeeping mistake. It's just comical at this point.

You’ve almost got to feel sorry for Dalot, he didn’t look comfortable in attacking positions as a wing-back and messed it up almost every time.

Had a steady first half and looks to be the big presence in the backline.

A decent enough performance for a team that conceded to cheap goals.

Looks to be the new target on corners with Harry Maguire benched.

The only one with a bit of bottles he crunched into tackles helping out the midfield nightmare at times.

He started the game well enough, but could have done better with both Burnley goals.

He’s part of the back three now so it’s strange to see Shaw caught up in tangles with Dalot at times.

Offered support down the left flank and linked up well with his teammates. Switched off for the first Burnley equaliser.

Just when the home crowd got into their usual rendition ‘Amorim’s glory days will come again’, Casemiro was done by Lesley Ugochukwu early on.

But it was the Real Madrid legend who had a hand in the goal after his header bounced off the post and was tapped in for Josh Cullen's own-goal.

Worked hard, chased down a wide cross to win United a corner out of nowhere but he can't last more than 70 minutes.

After missing a rare penalty last week the skipper showed incredible nerve to win at the death after being forced to wait an age again in added time.

He's still the only United man who can find an outstanding pass out of nowhere and the first goal came from his free-kick.

Skipper worked well with Mbeumo and Amad but was needlessly booked after his head got the better of him after 2-2.

After a torrid night at Grimsby, Amad was a threat and linked up well with Cunha and Mbeumo.

But the Ivorian winger put himself in contention for miss of the season after skiing an absolute sitter over the bar from five yards out on the brink of half-time.

After walking off with his head down at Grimsby, Mbeumo looked to put the past behind him with a lively display here.

The former Brentford star immediately regained the lead 15 seconds after the kick-off to bag his first Premier League goal of the season.

His crosses offer a new threat to United as well as excellent set-piece deliveries.

Mount’s bright start was seemingly rewarded after he pounced on Kyle Walker’s loose touch and did everything he could to get into the penalty area to draw a foul from the former Manchester City captain.

Ref Sam Barrott pointed straight to the spot but overturned his decision after a lengthy five minute review at the monitor.

Was one of the best players of the first half but was brought off at half-time for Mainoo.

Gets into great positions and creates space but I’m yet to see a threatening shot from the Brazilian in his first three league games as a United player.

But the former Wolves man is now a doubt for his first Manchester derby in two weeks time after hobbling off with an apparent knee injury inside 30 minutes.

Was given the nod to replace an injured Cunha over new signing Benjamin Sesko for his first minutes of the season.

Missed his first chance but played a brilliant role in a lightning break, finding Mbeumo who set it on a plate for Amad’s sitter.

Spurned a sitter to make it 2-0 after his timid finish was kept out from about eight yards with only Dubravka to beat.

With the saga surrounding Mainoo’s potential exit Amorim appeared to try and silence the noise while bringing the midfielder on at half-time.

And the England star immediately teed up Zirkzee for a chance to double their lead.

Was part of the mix up in the box for 2-2, when Bayindir pushed the ball out to him for a deflection.

Was chomping on the bit to get involved but hardly got a sniff.

Headed over from inside the six yards box with five minutes left. Should've done better.

And seconds later the 6ft 5in giant skimmed another header just wide.

Got a big cheer after returning from injury for his first appearance of the season.
