important anchors in front of the back four then take your pick of informed strikers ahead of him or forwards pogba from the right hands from the left-hand side to go two assists in these last two premier league games bruno's got 16 goals from essential position greenwood was a sub came on last week in luke sharp and rashford had a foot injury but does stall he's got 10 goals seven assists on the season over to burnley coming off a loss versus newcastle last sunday here's their team danny now sean dyson makes two changes from the 2-1 home loss to newcastle with cork and taylor coming in it's also a change from burnley's tried and trusted 442-451 it'll be all about containment for burnley find themselves fourth from bottom then me and torcos will have to have high concentration levels that's also having the extra protection of a free manchester instrument field mcnina and goodmanson will have the defensive duties on their side as well and be expected to go up and help wood january and this weekend has been designated as the no room for racism weekend by the premier league taking the knee a very visceral repulse to those who continue to racially abuse players on social media in particular underway in the sunshine perfect day for football here at the theater of dreams manchester united just holding on oh there's an early chance since the flag is up on the far side the ballers got into the net henderson came for it chris wood thought he got his third in three here at old trafford inside the first minute in fact he's like the first 10 seconds but the flag was raised on the far side well he must have just been upside slightly just seen there tell you what that's going to get reviewed this must just look at the top of the screen i think he's short but but the court manchester united out with the start the kickoff everybody lining up on this left-hand side for a big long ball and tarkovsky just slipped the ball to loudoun here's fernandez now mctominay turns it towards the back post pogba's there a bad effort i think peacock farrell has got his fingertips to it and put it around so much better from mambasaki first tucked out of his feet doesn't even think about it watch out his feet then the cross comes in pogba does not get up well probably was just going wide but farrell didn't want to take any risks it just gets his fingertips probably would have been the outside of the post but he's not to know that and he's got chris wood to his left hand side goodmanson coming up on the right westwood in support in the middle still wood gets the shot away and it's a saber the second attempt by henderson rounds of applause from the burnley bench the manager on the side ian won as well just clapping and saying that's a good move we've hit you on the break we've got a shot on target you keep doing that three or four times in a game you might get one that goes past the goalkeeper that's all burnley can wish for the amount of possession they're gonna get chance over manchester united here's fernandez he tries to kill one and he does doesn't miss by much a despairing peacock farrell really to see that go wide well he knows he's going to get the ball he's already setting himself up for the shot there he's in the space just opens his body up one such gets it away just didn't quite get the bend on it it's a decent game though it's tactically you know what burnley gonna do play the perfect ball through to a a galloping full pogba there united still have it rashford goes for goal and palmed over by peacock farrell just don't look at it i believe the system down there calling their lines like he just wandered upside down he wasn't right good shot in the end decent save shouldn't be beaten from there rashford as an option further back is mason greenwood but he swings it into there to the six shot box it was a free header and paul pogba might feel that he should have done better with it since then they've won seven out of 14 but are firmly estanced in second place wood with another excellent head up and it wasn't far wide he was found brilliantly in the penalty [Applause] area [Applause] well he was on side mason greenwood he flicked it away and he's gone out for a throw spot mcneal very capable in these situations the hip on tarkovsky wood was there at the back post and doesn't make contact and he leaves dean henderson in the heat what a chance well it looked dangerous from the position did he have the angle he made the angle i'm putting it sort to the far post and then just watch wood i'm gonna be offside anyway but wouldn't have counted but henderson took one on his thigh there so i can have an ice pack in about 20 seconds time [Applause] lovely nut made by rashford on lowton towards the penalty area the square ball it's left here's a chance and there's the goal mason green but that's brilliant by manchester united an electrifying run by marcus rashford a lovely dummy by fernandez and mason greenwood scores his third goal in three he's back on form all right united lead one nil well we talk about making things happen they just lose the ball burnley and what happens next is brilliant rashford in space nutmeg runs into that space and this next bit you don't have to be involved with passing but you can do that just the clever thinking knowing that greenwood is in space tate takes the defender's eye and that just gives greenwood as much time as he wants just to go like this slot past the keeper brilliant brilliant goal from united something we didn't see in that first half and i was talking to one of the musc tv guys saying well something will happen in the second half that's a solshar and it's defending the corner that inside the is yard box a beautiful delivery from the corner kick and tarkovsky all alone plans to header in to the empty net the lead didn't last for long manchester united won burnley one oh what's a hit back and what a ball this is the danger and look at the zonal marking from united you have to attack the ball and they don't mclare gets bungled down ball comes in lindelof's looking round too late his men in front of him tarkovsky doesn't have to do an awful lot it's hardly off the ground he's got three players grappling him here's wood goodmanson he's just behind him another opportunity and shot on goal by brown hill rashford again brings it under control beautifully he's looked down just today another lovely bit of skill the square ball is intercepted by me at the near post but what a drag back a bit of skill there by marcus rashford watch this put your medial cartilage back in your knee after this one absolutely brilliant mesmerizing watch this flip absolutely brilliant just can't pick up pick out cavani in the middle and they've done that a million times in training and to have the confidence to do that in a game superb ability he's tormenting tarkovsky at the moment his name on toast was the uh the nutmeg with a big high five so tarkovsky gets his head to it and here comes henderson pogba greenwood taylor out to meet him drilled [Applause] mason greenwood with the initial attempts it may have taken a deflection along the way we heard the ripple of the net and two or three burnley players slumped to their knees they are desperately disappointed the second of the day for greenwood boy is he hitting form six minutes remaining here united lead to one well just watch his first touch this is what sets it up look at him on the far side of the pitch his first touch is a knee forward into the box and that just backs off the defender he knows he's in the box taylor goes i'm in trouble and as uh i think his court goes out to close him down it just flicks off his foot but that touch just enables him to set himself into the box and the defender has to back off and on to that left foot corks foot just getting some sort of touch on it he's off the heel and peacock farrell absolutely no chance a little bit of luck for united and sean dice looks to the heavens pogba here's cavani mason greenman on a hat trick through to mctominay good save by peacock farrell yeah really quickly off his line but the quickness of thought from greenwood possibility of another goal for him but watch how quick he passes this he sees the run out of his feet a little too touch and good save [Applause] greenwood running at taylor here's fernandez cecilia van der beg the cross comes in the flag stays down edinson cavani makes it three well burnley had the opportunity on the counter attack a few moments ago it was defended well [Applause] and the counter attack the other way produces the game clinching goal edinson cavani scores another after notching at spurs last week and it's 3-1 well they've had the chance to release the ball he chose not to look at the five six shirts yellow shirts and then the break is on cavani does well by going inside that frees up the space on this left-hand side greenwood spots that and look at van der beek in that space he's on side there he's on side there and that's 3-1 that's the class of a of cavani doing that and also having the presence of mind just to stay behind the ball he makes a run he knows vanderbilt's in space just waits waits slots it in his 355 goal in european club football number 350 came against granada on thursday night is his 10th goal in all competitions this season for manchester united eight of them have come in the premier league only chasing consolation now that was a real promising situation they had a few moments ago woods header cleared by maguire good on the end of this one outnumbered this time no foul by lindelof says john moss and that should just about do it sporting help to his feet there by lindelof to chris wood never ever ever done that in my career help somebody up say something to surprise me mason greenwood with a couple of excellent goals edison cavani clinched the points and it isn't over eight points the gap between manchester united and manchester city 18 points still to play for united will keep going until it is impossible they're chasing silverware in the europa league they're ending the season strongly this
