“Of course it is (progress). We have improved and we have been better at winning games towards the end of games. Our fitness now, with all the games we’ve had, the boys are capable of churning out 90 minutes and the fitter you are the more you can do, I have always said that. The harder you train and the harder you play the more ready you are. That's the pleasure I get from winning games like this because last season we didn’t have them but this season we have done that loads and that is down the training ground and the attitude of the players."
“When they have played here at Old Trafford they have got a few wins and it has been a bit difficult. But it has been the opposite when we have played them away, we have beaten them. They were good here and we cane out on top.”
“Yeah it’s anyone’s game when they equalise but we have to keep strong and keep our mentality in the game to come out on top and that’s what we did.”
“Half an assist for Rashy, half for Bruno! It was a great run from Rashy and Bruno is smart, intelligent. I gave him a shout and he left for me to shoot.”
“The fitness and the mentality, we’ve got it all here. It’s starting to show in the games that we’re finishing games off now and comfortably beat teams.”
"Mason scoring again - he's in fine form. It was tough and we had to be patient and it ended comfortably, but it wasn't always like that. They battled throughout. They had a few half chances from set-pieces and we need to start doing better from them."
"Marcus coming out to the left, he seemed to be a better player in the second half and he looked so sharp. The first goal was so well worked and you always expect Mason to finish from that sort of position. It was a very good performance because Burnley defended so well for entirety of the game.

FT
United finish a tough afternoon on a positive note by grabbing a late third. Burnley defended well throughout the game and got themselves back on level terms on 50 minutes, not long after Greenwood had opened the scoring. The youngster then put us ahead again with a strike inside the box, before Cavani finished it off in style late on with his 10th United goal. It's a result that helps cut the gap to leaders City and strengths our position in the Champions League places.
90 MINS + 3
Cavani taps in to finish an excellent United counter-attack. The Clarets had committed a lot of men forward and we made the most of the spaces in behind. Greenwood slid the ball to van de Beek inside the box and the Dutchman had the composure to pick out Cavani, who had the easy task of poke the ball home.

As we enter injury-time, the midfielder shoots at goal but it is blocked almost on the line by Tarkowski.

Our no.39 strides into the box and crashes an effort at goal that forced Peacock-Farrell into action. The keeper did well to palm the ball out for a corner.
