Could this be the turning point for Ruben Amorim?
I'm not sure how much more of this he can take.
After being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby Town, United have just about secured three points in a crazy game against Burnley.
The Clarets went fully route one in the final minutes of added-time in an attempt to get another equaliser, but the Red Devils held on as their players and fans breathed a collective sigh of relief.
But that's nothing compared to their gaffer, who - just as against Grimsby - refused to watch Fernandes step up to take his spot kick.
Get that man a stiff drink!

While it was all going on at Old Trafford, Sunderland snuck in a winning goal to beat Brentford.
Wilson Isidor gets on the end of a deep cross, nods the ball down and under Caoimhin Kelleher and into the net.
Pandemonium at Stadium of Light.
Not one the former Liverpool goalkeeper will want to watch back...
The ball pops back out into the area and Anthony is the quickest man through a bundle of red shirts to poke the ball in.
It's gone in via two deflections, but it's a precious goal for the Clarets.

Foster has just rounded the goalkeeper and put the ball in the net for his second of the game, but the offside flag is up.
But, hang on, the semi-automatic offside graphic has just been shown, and it doesn't look offside at all.
Can you be offside by your arm?
Another strange one...
