FANS wonder if Erik ten Hag is “on a wind-up” after an astonishing boast following Manchester United’s 1-1 home draw with Burnley.
Red Devils’ keeper Andre Onana blundered to concede Zeki Amdouni’s late penalty equaliser after a sharp opener from Antony.
But many observers reckon United’s display was as toothless as so often this season, leaving them 12 points adrift of the top four.
Home supporters booed the Red Devils off as they remained without back-to-back Premier League victories since February.
But under-pressure boss Ten Hag said: “I think we are one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams in the league at this moment – creating loads of chances, playing good football.
“From the performance, the team did very well. Burnley are playing very high, intense football.”

And a fourth blasted: “ENTERTAINING?? Utd DREW to a NINETEENTH place Burnley!!! Utd have lost 12 games in the league!! Drew 6 games!!”
