    Manchester United

    Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a high getting to the semi-final in Europe but it was a blow to lose Marcos and Zlatan. 

    "The lads who have come in have given the manager something to think about. We've both scored. It's great to have options. It sets up a big game on Thursday. 

    "It's always great to be on the scoresheet. I've had injuries off the bench which has been frustrating but I feel strong now. 

    On Thursday's Manchester derby: "It's two great teams and it's massive for City. There's a fight for the top four and we're both in the fight. We'll be ready."

    Jeff Simons: 180 minutes in the league now for De Gea, without a save to make!

    Grant Heath: Professional performance from United, they've got to hope Liverpool slip up for a chance at a top 4 finish!

    Mourinho got his tactics spot on today. He played Fellaini deep, dropping in and making three at the back at times. Burnley didn't get a look-in. United grew into the game and scored two great goals. They deserved it.

    That's all she wrote. A much more comfortable afternoon than what Manchester United must have been expecting. Burnley aren't safe yet.

    I've lost count of how many tackles Eric Bailly has made. In stoppage time, Burnley feel it is the right time to produce their most sustained period of pressure since half-time. Dan Agyei shoots from the edge of the box, but drags it wide. Burnley will end this game without a shot on target.

    Jeremiah Kariuki: Great game by Pogba today! He is starting to show signs of his £30 million worth! Still £59m to show! Man of the Match!

    That's Pogba's last action. Michael Carrick is on. Four minutes added on.

    Almost three. Paul Pogba, the world's most expensive footballer, runs down the middle as Burnley retreat. His fight-footed shot just edges past the post. Nearly time for the fourth official's board...

    According to our radio colleagues, there's some trouble in the home end, with some trespassing Manchester United fans being escorted out. If you go to a football match for a fight, you are an idiot.

    The shadows are creeping further across the ground as the time ticks down. United keep Burnley at arm's length, Eric Bailly harrying anyone that goes near the visitors' box. On the subject of Burnley being five points above the drop zone, they go to Crystal Palace next weekend.

    If it stays like this - and we're seeing nothing to suggest that anything will change - then fifth-placed United will be one point Manchester City with that derby to come on Thursday. Burnley will stay five points above the relegation zone with four games to play.

    It was one of Martial's most effective performances today.

    He looked dangerous every time he had the ball. He had good build-up play with Rooney on numerous occasions and they knew where each other were going to be without really thinking about it.

    Wayne Rooney has finally broken Anthony Taylor's patience, chatting back to the ref once too often and finding his name in the book. Why do footballers complain to the referee? It never helps them, does it?

    Callum Anderson: Must say - Eric Bailly has been excellent these past few months. Really important figure in the Man Utd defence.

    The Burnley fans find their voices in the sunshine, but their team cannot respond. United are strolling this at the minute - exactly what is required given their schedule.

    Burnley's final change. Ashley Barnes off, teenager Daniel Agyei on. The Clarets are yet to have a shot on target.

    Marcus Rashford has started. A knock-and-go past James Tarkowski like the defender wasn't even there. He just runs out of room. At the other end, Eric Bailly puts in yet another challenge.

    Keep an eye on this one for the rest of the match. Ander Herrera's challenge on Joey Barton is a little naughty, but goes unpunished. Barton may decide to dish out his own brand of justice.
