Burnley took the lead simply before half-time once Chris Wood spun off Harry Maguire to meet ben Mee’s knockdown and smash into the top corner from the sting of the six-yard box.

Jay Rodriguez doubled the Clarets’ advantage once he contend a one-two with Wood before firing into the top corner of David de Gea’s close to post with a venomous strike from the left-hand corner of the penalty space.

It was the third season during a row Burnley had gone 2-0 up at old Trafford, but for the first time they persevered for all 3 points.

United, who were without the injured  Marcus Rashford, were lacklustre for large periods and barely vulnerable Nick Pope within the Burnley goal.

They were booed off at half-time and regular and large parts of the ground emptied with 5 minutes left.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side stay six points behind Chelsea and off the top four, whereas Burnley climb to thirteenth, seven points beyond the relegation zone.
