Darren Fletcher's interim reign at Manchester United began with a frustrating 2-2 draw at Burnley, as Benjamin Sesko's double was cancelled out by a late equaliser. The result leaves United still searching for a first win since the sacking of Ruben Amorim earlier this week.
Sesko, who doubled his season tally with two second-half strikes, said: "It's been tough but now I finally did it. Now it's just up to me and up to us to keep going like that." The Slovenian's goals came after Ayden Heaven's own goal had given Burnley a first-half lead.
Fletcher, confirmed to be in charge for Sunday's FA Cup tie with Brighton, made one change from Amorim's last game, restoring Bruno Fernandes to the No. 10 role in a 4-2-3-1 formation. However, United were passive in the first half, with Burnley taking the lead through Heaven's unfortunate deflection.
The visitors improved after the break, with Sesko scoring twice in quick succession to turn the game around. But Jaidon Anthony struck a memorable equaliser for Burnley, denying Fletcher a winning start. The interim manager now has just days to prepare for the cup clash as the club continues its search for a permanent successor to Amorim.
