A single point against the Premier League strugglers. Another underachieving performance. And tons of things to worry about.That’s the summary of Man United’s Tuesday 1-1 draw at Burnley, which is embellished with a unique goal-scoring milestone for two Red Devils’ stars.As you’ve probably read in our thorough match report, Paul Pogba has finally put an end to his dreadful drought, netting for the first time in the EPL since January 2021. Bland Man United surprised by the bottom dwellers, Rangnick just can’t seem to find the winning formulaUnlike the French midfielder, who found the back of the net at Turf Moore, let alone his long-lost form, the Portuguese superstar is facing a worrying couple of weeks for his standards.The Burnley tie has been the fifth game in a row for Ronaldo in which he failed to score, which is his worse streak since 2010 when he used to play for Real Madrid.In truth, he was not a regular in the recent weeks, mostly coming in from the bench in the second half, just like in the fixture against Sean Dyche’s side. United’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick is obviously struggling to incorporate him in the lineup, which is only one of the dozen issues surrounding Old Trafford outfit.It has come to this: ‘Everybody would be happy if we finish fourth’Rangnick was expected to bring back composure and strategy to EPL giants following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tumultuous tenure and departure despite that’ interim’ role. A few months later, however, United’s just a shadow of a team that was labelled as one of those title contenders, with problems emerging on a daily basis.It doesn’t look too promising ahead of their Champions League Round of 16 two-leg tie versus Atletico Madrid. Possible UCL exit could pour in some more instability into the already highly vulnerable atmosphere in the locker room.Still, Pogba’s resurrection could serve as a good starting point on the return road. For something more, they’ll need a much, much more useful Ronaldo, though.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 2418/1/22Chelsea – Brighton 1-1 (0-1)/Ziyech 28 – Webster 60/ThursdayNewcastle – Everton 3-1 (1-1)/Holgate 37 og, Fraser 56, Trippier 81 – Lascelles 36 og/West Ham – Watford 1-0 (0-0)/Bowen 68/Burnley – Man.
