The Red Devils are hungry After the holidays, Burnley is also eaten

I took five weeks off Manchester United “Hungry”. Unfortunate for Burnley which became the meal of the Red Devils.

The competition in Europe took a break for more than a month because it was there World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Manchester United is a club that can be lifted because the World Cup is over.

Because there were about 13 MU players who went to defend their national team, with two players returning later because they appeared in the final, namely Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.

Both were absent when MU hosted Burnley Carabao Cup Fourth Round 2022/2023, Thursday (22/12/2022) early morning WIB. Meanwhile, five players such as Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia and Marcus Rashford left immediately.

MU, who dominated from the start, took the lead in the 27th minute thanks to a goal from Eriksen, which ended a string of team passes to dismantle the Burnley defence.

Rashford in the second half doubled MU’s lead to 2-0 and it lasted until the end of the fight. MU consistently entered the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup, with 55% possession and six shots on goal out of a total of 11 in 90 minutes.

Performance that satisfied coach Erik ten Hag as the new players returned after more than a month away. Player hunger is the key to MU victory.

“You never know what it’s going to be like, because it’s always difficult to show up after the international break, especially as they haven’t played together for five weeks. I don’t think the team that was fielded this time has never played together. But they played according to the our wishes and our style of play. I am satisfied with the performance and the result,” said Ten Hag. Sky Sports.

“The players are so hungry after the World Cup break. It’s good to see the first goal of good teamwork.”
