Solskjaer has enjoyed a charmed life at Old Trafford, winning his first eight games in charge in all competitions. The run had to end at some juncture, and Burnley pierced the Manchester United bubble. The winning run has ended, but United can take heart from the result.

The first hour or so was poor from the home side and Burnley capitalized. The absence of key players was a major reason for this and Ander Herrera's bite in midfield was sorely missed. But despite going 2-0 down, the Red Devils fought back. They salvaged a point from the game, which would have pleased their boss immensely.

Numerous times after an unbeaten run, the question which arises is whether you can bounce back from the defeat. It seems as though United have already done that, bouncing back mid-game. They couldn't score the winner though.
