Manchester United take on local rivals and relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.

In their last outing, Erik Ten Hag’s side claimed all three points, but it was a tumultous game against rock-bottom Sheffield United and the Red Devils needed to come from behind twice to claim the 4-2 win.

After that match Manchester United had scored at least two and conceded at least two in their last five matches in all competitions.

Manchester United went into the match battling against Tottenham and Newcastle for the final European places, with too sizeable a gap between themselves and Aston Villa to have a reasonable chance of finishing in the Champions League places.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

SAVE! After substitute Amad plays a low ball across the edge of the area, Garnacho lets fly with a powerful shot! It's thumped more or less straight at Muric, though, and Burnley's goalkeeper makes another sharp save!

Casemiro takes two attempts to steal the ball from Amdouni, neither being particularly clean, but he manages to snaffle the ball away from his opponent. In an unfamiliar position, the ex-Real Madrid man is acquitting himself well.

Odobert tracks back to keep pace with Garnacho, who is again left in space and almost manages to get a shot off from just inside the Burnley box. Both sides' defending has left a lot to be desired - yet neither has been punished as yet.

Ten Hag talks to McTominay on the touchline, and it seems United will make at least one change sooner rather than later. The Scotland international is their third-top scorer this season, so he will hope to make a decisive impact if introduced.

More gaping space at the back leaves Burnley with a chance of finally opening the scoring, but Foster's layoff to Amdouni is delayed just too long, and the latter's shot is eventually blocked by a back-tracking Maguire. It remains wide open, and it's a mystery how the scoreline remains 0-0 after an hour.

Bruno Fernandes loses possession deep inside his own half, offering Amdouni a chance to make an early impact on proceedings after arriving from the bench. The striker's shot lacks accuracy, though, and sails well over the crossbar.

A frustrating shift for Fofana is brought to an early end, as he makes way for Amdouni up front. That's a new problem for United's new Maguire-Casemiro partnership to deal with.
