Manchester United's interim manager Darren Fletcher believes his side created enough scoring opportunities to claim victory against Burnley, despite the 2-2 draw at Turf Moor. The match ended in a frustrating stalemate for United, who will be disappointed by the dropped points, particularly given their dominant performance.
Fletcher acknowledged that while his team had control of the game for most of the 90 minutes, Burnley were able to capitalize on mistakes and create equalizing chances. However, he is adamant that Manchester United did enough to secure three points, and emphasized the importance of securing vital wins in this crucial period of the season.
"We created more chances than Burnley, and we should have won the game," Fletcher said post-match. "But we can't take anything for granted, especially not against teams like Burnley who are always looking to cause an upset." The manager will be encouraged by his side's attacking display, which saw several clear-cut scoring opportunities created.
However, United's inability to capitalize on these chances and secure a 90-minute clean sheet has raised questions about the team's solidity at the back. Fletcher is aware that this must be addressed if Manchester United are to achieve their goals for the remainder of the season.
For now, the draw is a frustrating result for United, who will hope to bounce back with a win in their next match against [opponent]. Despite the disappointment, Fletcher remains optimistic about his team's prospects and emphasized the need for focus and consistency in the coming weeks.

at least burnley gave it a go tho, cant say the same for man utd who were literally camped out in their half 
fletcher's right though, we did have some great chances but somehow managed to turn them into nothing 
. Manchester United might be disappointed with the draw, but they can use this as a wake-up call to tighten up their defense and stay focused 
. It's all about adaptability and resilience in the face of adversity. So, let's take a lesson from this: even when things don't go your way, you've still got to keep pushing forward with confidence 
.
. But you know what's even more frustrating? Those dropped points can really hurt your season momentum. Burnley took advantage of United's mistakes and that's just how it goes sometimes 
. They need to sort out their defense and start keeping clean sheets if they wanna make a push for the top 4 this season 
. Still, it's not all doom and gloom - United had some great chances and their attacking display was impressive 
. That 2-2 draw just doesn't add up, if you ask me. Manchester United had complete control of the game, but somehow Burnley still managed to find a way to score? It's like they must've had inside help or something 
. One minute they're dominating the game with their fancy footwork, and the next they're giving up possession to Burnley like it's going out of style. It's like they can't seem to get their act together.
. If you create 10 chances and only score 2 goals, then what exactly are you doing with those other 8 chances? That just doesn't add up, my friend.
. I feel like we'll never get that perfect clean sheet, it's always gonna be a nail-biter. But at the same time, the attacking display was so promising! 
We've got some talented players on our team and they're finally starting to gel... fingers crossed they can keep this momentum going 
️ we just need to work on our defense a bit more
