Marcus Rashford praises two Manchester United teammates following Carabao Cup win over Burnley

Marcus Rashford has heaped praise on Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Christian Eriksen for their roles in Manchester United's victory over Burnley.

United returned to competitive competition for the first time in over five weeks on Wednesday as they eased past Burnley to advance to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 win. Though Rashford grabbed the headlines with his excellent solo strike to double the lead, Eriksen's opener was also a fine goal.

It came midway through the opening 45 minutes when Bruno Fernandes lofted a pass over the top in the direction of Wan-Bissaka. The ball looked to be going out for a goal kick but somehow the right-back, starting for the first time since February after a tough beginning to the campaign, reached it and directed a perfectly-weighted cross for Eriksen to tap home.
