Manchester United dropped out of the top four after bottom club Burnley came from behind to draw 1-1 at Turf Moor.
Paul Pogba had put Ralf Rangnick's team ahead in a first half that they dominated but Jay Rodriguez's fine goal soon after the break earned Sean Dyche's side their point.
United, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, were left to rue missed opportunities as they drop out of the Champions League places following West Ham's victory against Watford.
Burnley remain bottom but if they are able to show the fighting spirit personified by new signing Wout Weghorst then they will remain hopeful they can stay up.
In his first Premier League appearance since October, Pogba produced an expert finish from Luke Shaw's low cross to underline United's obvious superiority early on.
United also had two goals disallowed either side of Pogba's opener. A VAR call for an offside by the interfering Harry Maguire ruled out Raphael Varane's header.
Later in the first half, Josh Brownhill deposited Marcus Rashford's cross beyond his own goalkeeper but was spared because of a foul by Pogba moments earlier.
It required an astonishing save from Nick Pope to deny Edinson Cavani from point-blank range and keep Burnley in the game going into the second half.
For 45 minutes, it was United at their fluent best with Jadon Sancho's combination play with Shaw looking particularly promising. The fact they could not sustain it will be a concern.
