Ralf Rangnick\u2019s men were brilliant in the first half as well as in the second half and deservingly take all the three points from this game. New Interim boss Ralf Rangnick hasn\u2019t yet tasted a defeat since his appointment as Man United\u2019s manager. Red Devils played their last game of the year 2021 in the Premier League against Burnley as they finish this year with an emphatic victory.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley FC went behind in this game just after 8 minutes as Man united\u2019s midfielder Scott McTominay scored a wonderful goal from the edge of the box which helped United take lead against the visitors. Apart from all the games, Ralf managed, the game against Burnley was the best as Manchester United was looking in control which the manager wanted to see since the start. They were dominating the possession and also holding the backline very strong and organized so that the visitors weren\u2019t able to take advantage in the first half. Soon after some time, an amazing link-up play between left-back Luke Shaw who was playing his first game under Rangnick, and Sancho contributed to United\u2019s second goal. Sancho had a shot from the left flank but as Burnley\u2019s captain Ben Mee got a little touch on the way, it was given as his own goal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Finishing the year with three points! \u27953\ufe0f\u20e3\u2764\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MUFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MUFC<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MUNBUR?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MUNBUR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Manchester United (@ManUtd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManUtd\/status\/1476676291432792073?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 30, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>United didn\u2019t take much time to take a 3-0 lead as in the 35th minute after Scott McTominay\u2019s long shot hit the post, the ball came back to United\u2019s main man Cristiano Ronaldo who only had to do a tap-in into an empty goal to score his 14th goal of the season in all competitions. Red Devils were in complete control of the game before Eric Bailly\u2019s mistake led to Burnley\u2019s first goal which was scored by striker Aaron Lennon.
