Buoyed from their 1-0 win against rivals Manchester City in the EFL Cup, Jose Mourinho's side were in confident mood ahead of Saturday's Premier League against a side that had not claimed a single point away from home.

Burnley have claimed their first away point of the season as Tom Heaton's heroics in goal helped the Clarets hold Manchester United to a goalless draw at Old Trafford.

However the Clarets stopper pulled off a string of superb saves to help his side to a clean sheet, while the hosts endured a frustrating day at the office as they went down to ten men, saw Mourinho sent to the stands and fell further behind in the title race.

The game began positively for the Red Devils, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic forcing Heaton into a save with a shot from the edge of the area just 25 seconds in.

By the quarter-hour mark it was clear that the game would be one-way traffic as Ibrahimovic and skipper Juan Mata weighed in with yet more chances, but a combination of poor finishing and Heaton's saves would go on to set the tone for the afternoon ahead.
