Ten Hag's men stepped out energetically at the start of this Premier League clash, with Jonny Evans nearly taking home the dream gift to commemorate his 200th appearance for the Reds, only for his goal to be ruled out by a VAR decision.
United didn’t dwell on that misfortune though, with the Northern Irish defender popping up again to pick out Bruno Fernandes with a crossfield pass over the Burnley defence. The captain struck the ball perfectly on the volley to bag what would prove to be the winner.
Hannibal, completing his first full 90 minutes of the season for the Reds, looked lively at both ends of the pitch throughout the game.
