Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United’s 1-0 win at Burnley can prove to be a turning point in a troubled season as Bruno Fernandes’s stunning strike snapped a three-game losing streak for the English football club.
The United captain produced a match-winning moment of quality when he connected sweetly on the volley from Jonny Evans’s long lofted pass just before half-time at Turf Moor on Saturday.

United had lost three of their opening five games in the league and had just suffered a 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday. They were trying to avoid a fourth straight defeat for the first time since 2015.
