[Saba Sports News] In the sixth round of the Premier
League, Manchester United secured a 1-0 away victory against Burnley. The win
in the match was overshadowed by criticism from fans due to their unappealing
performance. Despite claiming victory, stats revealed that Manchester United’s
possession rate in the game was a mere 38.5%, marking the lowest possession
rate against a non-Big 6 team in the Premier League since March 2017. Fans of
Jose Mourinho expressed their discontent with this outcome. They commented on
how, after the departure of Jose Mourinho, every Manchester United coach
emphasised offensive and beautiful football, yet their possession rate against
a newly promoted team stood at a mere 38.5%, which he found quite absurd.
