Manchester United claimed a much-needed victory over Burnley to
ease their worries on the field even if they are piling up outside
Old Trafford.
Chants of "We want the Glazers out'' from the Stretford End
emphasised the debt mountain being carried by the Red Devils.
For a long time it looked as though it was hanging round the players'
necks too.
But a five-minute purple patch just after the hour brought Dimitar
Berbatov's seventh goal of the season and Wayne Rooney's 17th.
And, with new-boy Mame Biram Diouf adding another near the end,
United had regained a sense of superiority, even if the outcome
could have been vastly different if either Steven Fletcher or David
Nugent had taken golden opportunities when Brian Laws' first game
in charge was still deadlocked.
