Footage of Manchester United players during their 1-1 draw against Burnley has gone viral on social media.

United thought they had picked up a priceless three points at Old Trafford to aid their push for European qualification after Antony's 79th-minute strike.

But Erik ten Hag's side gave away a late penalty, which Clarets substitute Zeki Amdouni converted to boost their Premier League survival hopes.

Ten Hag was booed by sections of United supporters at Old Trafford after substituting Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund - although it was a difficult day for the latter, as he received little service throughout the contest.

The Dane received four passes from goalkeeper Andre Onana during his 65 minutes on the field - which was more than he received from any other United outfield player.

Another worrying moment from the 1-1 draw came during the first half, when Hojlund attempted to run at goal while being challenged by several Burnley defenders.

The forward checked back before squaring the ball to what he hoped would be an onrushing attacker - but it was instead right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka who was bearing down on goal.

Wan-Bissaka, who hasn't scored a goal for United in over three years, took a step back before attempting a shot, but the Clarets managed to win possession back and clear their lines.

While some fans were critical of Hojlund's pass, other fans called out Wan-Bissaka. Others, though, questioned why the full-back was in that part of the pitch at all instead of a midfielder or winger - and the apparent lack of cohesion during the move,

After the game had concluded, Ten Hag defended his side over their recent performances, which also saw them drop a three-goal lead against Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final before winning on penalties.

But he also admitted that it was 'weird' that United could not control games for the full 90 minutes.

He explained to BBC Match of the Day: "We are one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league at this moment.

"We are creating loads of chances by playing good football. Every team gives up opportunities. But when it is up to us, it is weird."
