Manchester (AP) – Ralf Rangnick remains undefeated with Manchester United in the Premier League.
The English soccer record champions won 3: 1 (3: 1) against Burnley FC thanks to a goal and an assist by superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and, after their third league success in the fourth match under the German coach, climbed the table with 31 Points in sixth place. Leaders and local rivals Manchester City, however, have 19 points more on their account.
The recently rather minimalist Red Devils showed themselves to be significantly improved, especially on the offensive. Scott McTominay scored after a pass to Ronaldo for an early lead (8th minute). Burnley professional Ben Mee (27th), who directed a shot by the former Dortmund player Jadon Sancho into his own net, and Ronaldo (35th) with his eighth goal of the season ensured a reassuring lead. The guests from Northern England could only shorten through Aaron Lennon (38th).
