Manchester United 2-2 Burnley: 5 lessons for Solskjaer from the draw

#4 Manchester United need a central defender

Manchester United v Burnley FC - Premier League

Phil Jones is a liability, that is certain now. Even though United managed to ride on their ridiculous attacking talents to recover a point, it was two unforced errors that almost cost them the game on the night.

While Andreas Pereira was at fault for the first goal, Phil Jones could have avoided giving him the ball when the Brazilian was under pressure from two Burnley players. It was a lack of judgement from the English defender, who still looks like he has a mistake in his game.

This lack of a stellar defender at the back affected the whole United game play on the night. Victor Lindelof was massive, but he was put under too much pressure and as a consequence, it cost his concentration and form on the night.

For the second goal, Jones was out of position and as such Lindelof had to leave his line and cover the near post. This left the far post vacant and Ashley Young could not stop Chris Wood from plotting a simple header in.

As such, a defensive reinforcement is desperately required at United, because against Burnley, two errors cost United two points.
