- Burnley vs Man United finished 2-0 in favour of the Red Devils
- Martial and Rashford scored a goal each in either half to inspire United to victory
- The Manchester outfit now sit fifth on the league standings with 31 points
A goal each by Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford was all Man United needed to record a 2-0 win over Burnley in a Premier League clash played on Saturday night, December 28, at Turf Moor.
United came into the match on the back of a 4-0 win over Newcastle United on Boxing Day and were therefore looking to build on the result.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rung a couple of changes from the squad that defeated the Magpies, resting youngster Mason Greenwood, with Nemanja Matic stepping in for the injured Scott McTominay.
The much-changed squad however had the job done at Turf Moor, with Martial and Rashford emerging match heroes.
Martial handed United the lead in the 44th minute as he capitalised on Burnley's defensive blunder to break the deadlock before the interval.
Charlie Taylor gave the ball away in the dangerous area, allowing Martial in one-on-one and slotted home expertly.

The Red Devils had to wait until stoppage time to double the lead through Rashford who was brilliantly set up by Dan James.
The Manchester outfit now sit fifth on the league standings, just a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea who still have a game to play.
