Manchester United: Glazer family consider selling Premier League club

Manchester United got their season back underway with a comfortable win against Burnley in the Carabao Cup fourth round at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag’s men comfortably saw off a determined Burnley side with the Championship leaders unable to match the intensity of the Premier League side.

Christian Eriksen made use of United’s prolonged pressure in the first half and finished off a fine move set up by right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

United slacked off after going in front but Burnley failed to punish the Red Devils for their mistakes and paid for their lack of a clinical edge when Marcus Rashford weaved through the defence and smoked home a brilliant shot just before the hour mark.

That gave United the cushion they wanted to easily close out proceedings and advance to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
