    FT: Man Utd 3-1 Burnley!!! All over at Old Trafford and after a goalless first half, Greenwood put United ahead. Tarkowski levelled and it looked it would end in a draw, but a deflected Greenwood effort in the 84th minute gave United the lead again. Cavani then added a third on the counter as the Clarets looked for a leveller. Burnley are beaten, but they should be very proud of their performance.

    The scoreline flatters United as it's not been an easy game at all.

    Greenwood makes it 2-1 thanks to a deflection! The corner is cleared initially, but United continue the move and Greenwood's effort deflects off Cork and leaves Peacock-Farrell with no chance! I don't think it was going in actually.

  • 45'
    HT: Man U 0-0 Burnley!! No score at Old Trafford at the interval and I'd say a draw is fair. Burnley started very quickly and Wood had a goal disallowed after 15 seconds, United then responded and hit the post through Pogba while Greenwood, Fernandes and Rashford all had opportunities. Burnley have kept attacking though and Wood has had several opportunities to score. It's great to see Burnley's positive intent and this could go either way. Join us shortly for the second 45!
