Martin Dubravka
United's most curious recruit of the summer and it showed again with a dodgy punch that almost resulted in an own goal and even dodgier distribution. 3
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
A potentially timely audition amid interest from West Ham, claiming a first assist since May 2021 with a well-timed volley for Christian Eriksen. 7
Victor Lindelof
Switched to the left side of centre-back to accommodate Casemiro and had a reasonable evening as United kept a clean sheet. 6

Casemiro
Slotted in at centre-back impressively and playing deeper did not deter him from playing perceptive passes on an authoritative return. 7
Tyrell Malacia
Unused by the Netherlands, he did not look like he had gone 38 days without a competitive game but was ignored on the overlap at times. 6
Christian Eriksen
Read the move for the opening goal he finished faultlessly for his second goal in as many games. A commanding return to club football. 7
Scott McTominay
Had the privilege of remaining in midfield as Casemiro dropped back but was unreliable at either end, wasting a presentable chance at 1-0. 4
Alejandro Garnacho
Squandered an excellent chance in the eighth minute with a tame shot and never hit his stride on an uncharacteristically rusty performance. 5
Bruno Fernandes
Influential on his return, Fernandes's pass unlocked the Burnley defence and enabled Wan-Bissaka to tee up Eriksen. 7
Marcus Rashford
Overelaborate in the first-half but excellent in the second. Scored superbly, dashing down the right wing, and was soon in crowdpleasing form. 7
Anthony Martial
Miscued a side-footed effort that would ordinarily be a signature finish and tepid for the majority of the evening. Came off after 70 minutes. 5
Subs
Antony
Replaced Garnacho for his first United appearance since October and botched an easy pass for Fernandes. Booked. 5
Anthony Elanga
Played on the right. 5
Luke Shaw
Got minutes ahead of the Nottingham Forest game. 5
Fred
Late arrival. 5
Brandon Williams
First United appearance in over 18 months. 5
Manager
Selected the strongest possible team bar in goal and refused to indulge any lethargy. United got the job done professionally. 7
