    Jay: The only problem for Burnley is that they aren't playing at Old Trafford.

    Stephanie G: Would be loving it if United not only won the Europa League but also finished in the Top 4

    Half-time here, but very much under way at Wembley. The early stages of Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City is being described by Tom Rostance here.

    I went to see Tom's band on Friday. They tore the house down. Rostance on guitar.

    I know Burnley have got a fantastic home record but United have an impressive away record. 

    Burnley haven't done enough, they've not sustained any real pressure. United will be happy at half-time and Burnley have it all to do. It will take a miracle to do it.

    The break. Manchester United have taken their chances, while Marouane Fellaini has protected the excellent central defensive pair of Daley Blind and Eric Bailly.

    Before United's second goal, Burnley actually looked threatening. That's the case again - there's more action in the away half to the right. Two minutes added on. United have come over all Juventus and defended brilliantly.

    Andre Gray! Balletic turn inside the United box, his shot blocked by the mountainous figure of Eric Bailly. From the resulting corner, Gray tried to hook over his shoulder, but got nothing except fresh air. We've all done it. Especially during a game of headers and volleys.

    It's such a narrow angle, Wayne Rooney's swung his foot at it. 

    Manchester United, at 2-0 up, have been great. Burnley haven't been much of a threat and they've been nullified by Fellani. 

    They deserve to be in front. They're comfortable in the game.

    It's slightly against the run of play, but Wayne Rooney has doubled the Manchester United lead after a scramble in the Burnley box. Tom Heaton did well to get off his line to block Anthony Martial, but the ball fell to Rooney only a yard or two out, with his scuffed shot creeping over the line. It may have come off Michael Keane, so could go down as an OG.

    It was a fantastic ball into a great area by Robbie Brady, but Ben Mee wasn't committed enough. 

    United have to be careful - they've given away three or four free-kicks in dangerous areas.

    Ben Mee has caused as many problems in the Manchester United box as any other Burnley player. His blond hair scoots to the back post when a free-kick is delivered from about 25 yards but, under pressure from Daley Blind, he can't make contact.

    Wayne Rooney is saying a lot to referee Anthony Taylor about that non-penalty. Rooney may well have a point, but Taylor won't change his mind, no matter how much Rooney goes at him. Anthony Martial continues to cause problems on the right, with Burnley having to commit two men to snuff him out.

    This new (I won't say makeshift, because Daley Blind can play anywhere) United centre-back pairing is holding up well. Anything that comes in the air is headed by Eric Bailly, while Blind is hovvering up on the ground. In the Burnley box, Wayne Rooney goes down after Joey Barton comes in from behind. No ball from Barton, a lot of Rooney's shin.

    Burnley, by the way, have only won two points from losing positions so far this season. To change that, they will have to find a way past David de Gea and a perfectly manicured goatee. The Spaniard comes to claim a free-kick.

    Looking at replays of the United goal, it was Joey Barton who tried and failed to keep up with Anthony Martial. One running with jet heels, the other like someone was pulling his braces from behind.

    What pace from Anthony Martial on the break. 

    He's managed to nick it past Joey Barton. Barton had to bring him down. They were 3 v 1 on the counter. When you see danger like that, someone's got to take the yellow card to prevent the danger. United have such a good counter attack and it was costly for Burnley.

    Man Utd lead through Martialpublished at 20 mins

    Burnley 0-1 Manchester United

    Rapid, brilliant and clinical, Manchester United lead through a sweeping, back-to-front counter-attack. Inside their own box defending a free-kick, United burst down the left and, in the space of a couple of passes, are on the edge of the Burnley box. Ander Herrera squares for Anthony Martial, who has a touch and then slides it past Tom Heaton. Breathtaking stuff.
