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.

Foster now fires over the top following another nice move from the Clarets - this is much better. Given recent results, Ten Hag will be concerned.

SHARP STOP! Onana leaps up to tip over a rasping 20-yard drive from Odobert! He really let fly and forced the goallkeeper to act quickly! That's another corner-kick for Burnley, who are now improving.

Soon after Berge escapes a penalty claim at the other end, Vitinho reaches the left byline and cuts the ball back. Wan-Bissaka has to dive in to turn it behind for a corner.

Fofana holds the play up in the final third, but the ball then strikes Cullen's arm and the Irish midfielder is penalised for handball. Since Fofana's early effort, United have had the last eight shots on goal, with the Clarets unable to pose any threat.

After Garnacho's shot strikes Esteve in the area, the ball spins nicely towards Mainoo, who cracks an attempt wide of the target. The hosts are totally on top now, and they must surely capitalise soon.

OFF THE POST! What a hit! Bruno Fernandes rattles the goal-frame with a lightning strike from a tight angle on the left! Eriksen and Hojlund combine before the ball breaks to United's skipper, who almost opens the scoring! Burnley breathe again!

Burnley are struggling to play their way through the home side at the moment, as they search for a route through midfield. They continue to pass neatly but are not posing so much of a threat since their early salvo.

Garnacho's cutback towards Hojlund is cut out in the centre, so United have another corner - this time, on the left. Berge clears the initial cross away, before Antony scuffs a low shot at Muric from 20 yards.
