In the first round, Burnley managed to stay at Old Trafford thanks to the self-denying game of goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who made many saves. If that match did not end in a draw, now Manchester United would be much more likely to finish in the top three winners. Expected, for the second round match with Burnley, MJ was extremely motivated and did not want to allow a repeat of the story.

The start of the match was for the wards of Mourinho good. Already at the 21st minute, the Mankunians were able to score an assist, which was completed by Martial. Herrera walked on the flank and made a chamber exactly at the feet of the Frenchman, who rolled the ball into the corner of the gate.

All the same Martial could make out a double, but with his blow dealt Heaton, after which on the finishing was Rooney, who pushed the ball into the net. The final whistle recorded the victory of Manchester United, who is three points behind Liverpool, but has a game in hand.

Burnley - Manchester United 0: 2.
