If you look past the opening minutes and some hassle in the end of the game, this was a solid win against opponent that is really difficult to play against.
Loved the way the high press stressed Burnley to be inaccurate with their long balls forward. Especially between the start of the second half and until around the 85th minute. After that I think we became too deep again and then Burnley started to be a threat again. In my view United should have kept the high pressure until the end, but I guess fatigue and a desperate opponent made it difficult.
The decision to start Matic and Pogba was really good as they are strong enough to control the ball in the congested central areas under tough physical pressure. Pogba was amazing at this as he often managed to keep the forward movement while the opponents were clanging into him. He even kept the forward movements most of the times to. To be able to do this is so important against a physical side like Burnley.
Bailly and Maguire was great too. Wonder how Kevin Friend managed to disallow that goal.
On the other side, Rashford looks tired and in need of a rest, he wasn't awful, but not as sharp as he could be. Martial unfortunately had another day of.
In the end I really like that the 1-0 win was grinded out. To be relevant at the top you need to do that.
