Nice performance after the World Cup in a game some thought we'd trip up in. Not brilliant but we got the job done.

It’s mad to think that we dominated that match but they still could have easily scored about 3 or 4. A lot of them without them even needing to have a shot.

Thought Southgate did well resting Rashford, clearly cares about his club career more than England winning trophies

Weirdly comfortable even though Burnley had a few chances. Not bad considering we had backups along our defensive line

Ideal warm up game. Few lads looked very rusty but that’s a great outing to get them back up to speed.

Rashford looks sharp and hungry which is great.

That girl commentator must never, ever be on tv again.

Great to get the win. People were worried that we might have issues with them considering our squad depth, but we did fine I think.
Rashford showed some glimpses of his old form, Martial looked ok at times (he lacks match fitness I think), and AWB had a redemption.

Got the result. Performance was decent although nervy defensively at times.

Rashford was class in that 2nd half. What a goal he scored!

A fun return to football. Played some great attacking patterns tonight. The defense was shaky but overall it was mostly a smooth night.

Improvement in our attacking system is starting to appear which is fine for me.

Routine win with two quality goals. Burnley got what they deserved out of the game (nothing) with their only decent chances coming from United errors/lapses in concentration

Good to be back with a win. Thought AWB had some decent touches.

Potential banana skin avoided. I thought we pressed well at the start and stopped Burnley settling into their passing game, our superior quality showed in the end, rustiness or no. Decent watch, thank feck the proper football is back again.

Very very comfortable,

Few alarming moments mainly due to sloppy passing or Dubravka, but Burnley only created one real chance from Barnes.

Enjoyed it

Our dodgy keeper tried to make things interesting

Two good goals. Very dodgy goalkeeper. McTominay was poor.

Potential banana skin, but we made it look easy in the end.

We could and should have been looking at 3 or 4 goals with the chances we made, but I'm happy enough.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Very happy. Two nice goals scored.

Hope not to see poor Dubravka again. Can't deal with the stress! :lol:

Given the history, this was a fairly easy 90 minutes. They may have shed quite a few of their thugs as they went down into the Championship, but I was a bit worried with the potential aerial bombardment. None of that really.

Rashford continues his excellent form. And Dubravka makes me think Heaton is probably the better keeper, despite his age.

Job done and into next round. Just hope we don't draw either of City/Liverpool or Newcastle as we won't have Bruno available (and it's not like we want to draw tough opponent anyways).

Great goal from Rashford. AWB did well. Casemiro was a beast. Goalkeeper and McTominay a bit crap. Everyone else average to ok.

McTomminay and Elanga ain't it. McTomminay was especially poor in that midfield both on the ball and off it.

Casemiro motm for me. Looked like he's been playing CB his whole career. Was far too easy for him.

Job done in a potential banana skin.
Bruno let himself down getting himself needlessly booked and misses the quarter final.
Rashford on Fire.

Job done. I was honestly expecting a tougher match, as Burnley is more match fit than us.

Decent result and, most pleasingly, we never really felt like throwing it away. A game we were expected to win we won comfortably. Where's the negative?!

What will it take for us to get rid of being sloppy? We give the ball away like it's nothing.

Good win, that. Honestly expected us to lose tonight. A few of the boys looking really sharp. Dubravka a bit of a disaster but luckily didn’t cost us. We have a good chance in this competition.
