Manchester United returned to action after the World Cup break with a hard-fought win over a tidy Burnley side at Old Trafford, with PSG-linked Marcus Rashford back from international duty to light up Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho missed an early chance to give United the lead, failing to find the net after being played through with only goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell to beat. Burnley were able to assert themselves more as the first half drew on, only for Christian Eriksen to escape his marker and tap home the opener after good work from Aaron Wan-Bissaka down the right.
Martin Dubravka started in goal for United and was tested by lively Burnley star Manuel Benson. The Slovakian got away with a nervy bit of play before the break, though, flapping at a high ball and almost conceding a freak own goal as it deflected towards his net before being hacked away.
