Man Utd 2-0 Burnley: Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford send United into next round

Manchester United: Glazer family consider selling Premier League club

Manchester United got their season back underway with a comfortable win against Burnley in the Carabao Cup fourth round at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag’s men comfortably saw off a determined Burnley side with the Championship leaders unable to match the intensity of the Premier League side.

Christian Eriksen made use of United’s prolonged pressure in the first half and finished off a fine move set up by right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

United slacked off after going in front but Burnley failed to punish the Red Devils for their mistakes and paid for their lack of a clinical edge when Marcus Rashford weaved through the defence and smoked home a brilliant shot just before the hour mark.

That gave United the cushion they wanted to easily close out proceedings and advance to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Man Utd 2-0 Burnley

75 mins: Nearly! Seeing as though Casemiro is playing out of position as a centre-back tonight he hasn’t put a foot wrong. Gudmundsson swings a great cross into the box but Casemiro is first to the ball and nods it over to Antony who flies forward on the counter-attack.

He brings the ball inside from the right before spotting Bruno Fernandes wide open on the other side of the box. Antony looks for him with a pass but underhits it and the attack breaks down.

72 mins: More changes for Manchester United. Anthony Elanga and Luke Shaw are introduced to replace Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Wan-Bissaka, who has only played four minutes for United this season before tonight, will be pleased with his work. He set up the first goal and looked solid defensively.

Time for an ice bath for the United right-back.

GOAL! Man Utd 2-0 Burnley (Rashford, 57’)⚽️

57 mins: Individual brilliance from Marcus Rashford doubles Manchester United’s lead!

Rashford’s fine season continues as he bangs in another goal. The ball is played up to him on the inside right channel and he storms past three defenders before getting into the box and drilling a low effort across goal.

Peacock-Farrell tries to get down to it but can’t reach the ball and it hits the inside of the far post before nestling in the corner.
