BURNLEY, England, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Manchester United's ( MANU ) Benjamin Sesko scored twice as his team kicked off the post-Ruben Amorim era with a familiar sense of frustration in a ‌2-2 Premier League draw at lowly Burnley on Wednesday.

United, with interim ​manager Darren Fletcher in charge, would have climbed ‍to fourth in the table with ⁠a win ⁠but remained sixth on 32 points. Burnley are 19th, eight points ‌adrift of safety.

United looked ​headed for victory before Burnley substitute Jaidon Anthony struck the equaliser against the run ⁠of play in the ‍66th ​minute, capitalising on lackadaisical defending to launch a blistering shot from the edge of the penalty ‍area.

Burnley had stunned the visitors in the 13th minute when a cross from Bashir Humphreys took a big deflection off United defender Ayden Heaven and looped into the far corner of ​the ‍net.

Sesko ended a nine-game goal drought in the 50th minute, however, when he ran ​onto a perfectly weighted ball from Bruno Fernandes, and fired a low shot first time past Martin Dubravka, and the Slovenian striker completed his double 10 minutes later when he steered home Patrick Dorgu's cross with ​a superb volley.

United had several chances to nab a late winner, including a powerful strike against the crossbar by substitute ‍Shea Lacey.
