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.

In the first of at least two minutes added for stoppages, Burnley are back on the ball in United's defensive third. Bruun Larsen draws a foul from Casemiro, so the Clarets can take one more crack at opening the scoring from a 25-yard free-kick.

Having been caught by Antony in a midfield tackle, Vitinho stays down and will require treatment from the medics. Kompany takes the chance to discuss matters with Berge on the touchline, before Vitinho finally sits up and prepares to resume his role in defence.

First, Assignon blocks Garnacho's first strike at goal from 12 yards out, then the young winger fires a follow-up into the side-netting from a tight angle on the left. That came at the end of a nice move involving Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes, as United finally escape Burnley's siege.

SAVE! Onana saves his side once again. Berge slips through a lovely ball for Foster to take into his stride just outside the area, but the latter is denied by United's advancing goalkeeper as he tries to find the bottom-right corner! He really should have scored!

Over the past 10 minutes, Burnley have had 67 per cent of the ball, as they've managed to turn this game on its head. They were firmly on the back foot for over nearly half an hour, but they now look likeliest to score before the break.

SUPER SAVE! Incredible reflexes from Onana, who keeps Manchester United level! After a free-kick is partly cleared, Cullen feeds the ball back into the box, and Foster guides a header towards the far corner. However, Onana reacts to paw it away with remarkable agility!

Wan-Bissaka mistimes a challenge on Fofana, who has strayed out onto the left flank, and Burnley will have a free-kick in a promising position. It seems that Bruun Larsen is lining up a cross into the area.

After Dalot fails to properly clear his lines with a header, the ball drops to O'Shea, who fires his first-time shot straight over the crossbar. Burnley are bossing things now.
