7 Jan
Summary
- Burnley earned a crucial point against Manchester United.
- Benjamin Sesko scored two goals for the visitors.

Burnley secured a hard-fought draw against Manchester United in the team's initial outing following the dismissal of head coach Ruben Amorim. The visitors were poised for victory after Benjamin Sesko netted twice in a ten-minute span early in the second half, converting precise first-time finishes.
The home side had gone ahead before halftime due to an own goal. However, just as Burnley faced another defeat, Jaidon Anthony intervened with an equalizer. This outcome proved frustrating for interim United manager Darren Fletcher, who had departed from Amorim's established formation.
Manchester United created numerous scoring opportunities, with efforts cleared off the line and a disallowed goal. Despite these chances and a late surge, they were unable to reclaim the lead, ultimately settling for a single point against the struggling Burnley side.
