Manchester United vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Zeki Amdouni equaliser
Follow all the action from Old Trafford
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.

Wan-Bissaka pops up on the edge of the area, ready to meet a pull-back by Hojlund, but the full-back takes too long to pull the trigger and Burnley manage to clear their lines. Still, Man Utd are building some rhythm now, just as they did at the start of the first half.

CLOSE! Garnacho is left in acres of space out wide, so he hares inside towards the area and engineers a strike with his right foot from 20 yards. However, his effort fails to curl inside the far post and instead flashes narrowly wide!

An appeal goes up from the Old Trafford faithful, as Casemiro chases the ball inside Burnley's box and seems to be upended, but the referee waves play on. On balance, that is probably the right decision, and the VAR clearly agrees.

DOUBLE SAVE! Garnacho easily beats Assignon on the left and then pulls a low pass back for Antony, whose shot is smothered by Muric! Then, Burnley's goalkeeper races out to narrow the angle and deny the Brazilian again!

After United survive an early scare, when Fofana is caught just offside after Foster is allowed to streak through the middle unopposed, the play becomes disjointed.

Manchester United kick off, and we are back under way at Old Trafford!
Manchester United vs Burnley
Manchester United have lost just one of their last 16 Premier League games against Burnley, but they have already been beaten five times at Old Trafford in the Premier League this season and look vulnerable again. With a makeshift back four, perhaps that's no surprise, but as Burnley have not kept a clean sheet for 16 league games, the hosts may yet break through after the interval.

Somehow, a wide-open first half of two halves ends goalless at Old Trafford, as Manchester United and Burnley head down the tunnel still on level terms. After United threatened to open the scoring on several occasions, with the influential Bruno Fernandes striking the goal-frame, before the Clarets bit back, and only some slack finishing and Onana's heroics have kept them from going in front. The visitors' xG stands at 0.84 to their hosts' 0.94, but given how momentum swung so far in their favour, Kompany's relegation battlers may feel they should have a lead to protect. While the live win-probability calculator rates their chances at just 18 per cent, Burnley can be heartened by the manner of their revival.
