Burnley 0-2 Man Utd

Watch the highlights as Manchester United put on a professional display to beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor.

Returning captain Wayne Rooney complemented Anthony Martial's 10m euro strike as Manchester United secured a much-needed victory at Burnley, moving Jose Mourinho's men within a point of Manchester City ahead of this week's derby.

Back in action after losing Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo to serious knee injuries in Thursday's extra-time Europa League triumph against Anderlecht, United knew anything but victory at Turf Moor would damage their top-four ambitions.

Mourinho's much-changed side rallied in the circumstances and Rooney marked his return with a goal after Martial scored a fine opener at Burnley, triggering a 10m euro (£8.4m) payment to Monaco and a 2-0 victory for United.

The result moves Mourinho's Reds within a point of fourth-placed City ahead of Thursday's mouth-watering derby clash at the Etihad Stadium, whereas Sean Dyche's Clarets remain five points off the drop zone.
