Their 13th point of the season sees them eight points back of safety.<\/p>\n Sesko\u2019s double the silver lining from latest Man Utd disappointment<\/p>\n There was sights both familiar and unfamiliar in Manchester United\u2019s first game under caretaker manager Darren Fletcher, as the Red Devils churned out shots but found ways to concede to a lesser foe, dropping points for the the third-straight draw against less than stellar Premier League opposition. Yet one of the differences should be in focus of Man United fans moving forward, and that\u2019s the way that 22-year-old Benjamin Sesko doubled his season goal haul with a brace away from home. Sesko\u2019s first goal was the most encouraging because it shows why the club bought him as well as Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer \u2014 cashing in the elite chance creation rate of Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese was a bit more advanced as United played a 4-2-3-1, and it\u2019s no surprise that the Red Devils twice found the score sheet. As they find their new boss and direction, Sesko should have plenty of opportunity to lay claim to the starting center forward role for the long haul. <\/p>\n What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n Burnley host Millwall in the FA Cup on Saturday before heading to Liverpool on Saturday, January 17.<\/p>\n Manchester United host Brighton in the FA Cup on Sunday, then welcome Manchester City to Old Trafford at 7:30am ET on Saturday, January 17.<\/p>\n Burnley vs Manchester United final score: 2-2<\/p>\n Ayden Heaven o.g. 13′, Benjamin Sesko 50′, 59′, Jaidon Anthony 66′<\/p>\n Burnley vs Manchester United live updatesMan United subs<\/p>\n Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee enter the game for Casemiro and Cunha in the 73rd minute.<\/p>\n Jaidon Anthony goal \u2014 Burnley 2-2 Manchester United<\/p>\n Off the bench and onto the scoresheet.<\/p>\n Neither Shaw nor Martinez close down Jaidon Anthony and he mails a shot past Senne Lammens for 2-2 in the 66th minute.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anthony nails top corner to bring Burnley level<\/p>\n Burnley’s Jaidon Anthony found space in the box and lifted a perfect shot into the top corner to bring the home team level against Manchester United.<\/p>\n Benjamin Sesko goal \u2014 Burnley 1-2 Manchester United<\/p>\n Dorgu burns past Walker and slices a cross toward goal.<\/p>\n Sesko cuts between two defenders and gets the ball past Dubravka.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sesko bags second-half brace with one-touch finish<\/p>\n Benjamin Sesko netted a second-half brace for Manchester United with a deft one-touch finish against Burnley.<\/p>\n Benjamin Sesko goal \u2014 Burnley 1-1 Manchester United<\/p>\n Casemiro slots a neat pass toward Bruno Fernandes, who sends Benjamin Sesko behind the Burnley back line.<\/p>\n Sesko\u2019s finish is clinical to the right of Martin Dubravka.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sesko nets equalizer in second half v.
