Burnley wanted to play this game more than United because of Burnley's lack of game this weekend.

Really doubt EtH is particularly bothered by the result at all.
I heard he's considering retiring from the game out of embarrassment.

Never seen so much press about a behind-closed-doors friendly.

I mean it's not ideal that they've apparently been hammered by Burnley, but no other club would ever get this much attention.

It's just the caf - negativity has become our currency recently, to be moaning so much about a pointless friendly with zero relevance is unsurprising but still a bit tragic.

Great to see we’re playing these types of games to get players up to match fitness, it shows some foresight should we have to use the second string.

The Mount injury being a good example, we now have a couple players with a good run out against a decent opposition, will improve their sharpness.
