SIR Alex Ferguson was relieved to see his Manchester United side beat Burnley and admitted: 'We could have been embarrassed.'
Ferguson said: "We had a number of opportunities to punish them in the final third but there was a bit of nervousness and anxiety about our game.
"You need a goal to open teams up in matches like that, although while they will probably feel 3-0 was unfair, I didn’t believe it was too unjust."
