Jay Rodriguez speaks: ““This result means everything,” says the man whose goal of the season contender put the game beyond United in a chat with BT Sport. “We worked hard and we showed quality. We stuck at it. Coming here, it is always one of the places you want to play at.”

Ben Mee speaks: “It’s nice to see the game out and keep a clean sheet,” says Burnley’s skipper, who was given the man of the match award. “It’s a funny game. We lost four league games in a row and now we’ve beaten Leicester and Manchester United in the space of a few days.”

How things stand ... Manchester United remain in fifth place (which speaks volumes about how dreadful the teams beneath them must be), six points behind Chelsea. Behind them, breathing down their necks on the same number of points, sit Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves in sixth and seventh. In 13th place, Burnley are sandwiched between Everton and Newcastle with all three clubs on 30 points, just four points behind United.

Elsewhere in the Premier League: Leicester City have beaten West Ham 4-1 but lost Jamie Vardy to injury just before half-time. Tottenham have beaten Norwich City by the odd goal of three.

Chris Wood speaks: “It was indeed,” he says to BT Sport upon being commended on his side’s good performance. “We grinded it out at times, but that’s what we’re good at. We got the two goals and put in a great defensive performance.”

Burnley have won at Old Trafford: “I’m embarrassed,” says Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport. “I’m embarrassed to be here. THey’ve spent £600m on players in recent years and I don’t see it out there. WEHat’s to show for it here? You can’t defend this? Young kids in schools around the country aren’t going to want to wear Man United shirts or come here and watch this. It’s embarrassing.”

90+4 min: Burnley’s fans roar their approval as Juan Mata is penalised for a foul and then angrily kicks the ball away. He isn’t booked, but does get a ticking-off from Jon Moss.

90+2 min: United continue to huff and puff around the edge of the Burnley penalty area, albeit to little or no avail. They’ve been diabolically bad tonight.

90 min: There now look to be more empty seats than occupied ones at Old Trafford as the game goes into time added on. Luke Shaw thinks he’s pulled a goal back, but his headed conversion of Juan Mata’s cross is chalked off by Jon Moss for a foul in the build-up. A quick VAR consultation later and Moss sticks with his decision.

89 min: Dwight McNeill goes down injured after being caught by a late tackle from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

88 min: Tarkowski leathers the ball clear as Luke Shaw tries to shimmy his way into the Burnley penalty area.

87 min: Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the only United player to put in a decent shift tonight, is penalised for a foul on Jay Rodriguez. It was borne out of frustration, I suspect ... and that frustration is entirely understandable.

86 min: Another shot from distance, this time from Anthony Martial. He sends the ball high over the bar. He had few other options, such has been the paucity of movement from his fellow forwards. United have been utterly toothless tonight.

84 min: There are plenty more empty red seats to be seen in Old Trafford as a steady stream of home fans make for the exits. They’ve seen enough.

83 min: Mason Greenwood rumbles forward and unleashes a rasping shot that fizzes narrowly wide of Nick Pope’s right post.

82 min: Charlie Taylor is called upon to clear, as Burnley continue to defend stoutly. Manchester United seem completely bereft of ideas as to how best to break them down.

81 min: Another block on the fringes of the Burnley penalty area, this time from Jeff Hendrick as he prevents Luke Shaw from getting a cross in.

81 min: Wan-Bissaka slings another cross into the Burnley penalty area, only for Ben Mee to dispatch it down the field with an agricultural clearance. He and James Tarkowski have been immense when called upon tonight.

80 min: Jesse Lingard has a shot blocked by a defender after being teed up by a Luke Shaw pull-back.

78 min: Anthony Martial picks up a pass from Nemanja Matic on the edge of the Burnley penalty area, cuts inside and shoots feebly. Nick Pope saves, although the ball was going wide and he probably didn’t need to.

77 min: Burnley win a corner deep in Manchester United territory. Nothing comes of it and United clear their lines.

74 min: The ball’s swung into the mixzer and Phil Jones heads it down into the mixer. Juan Mata sends a soft shot trickling straight at Pope.

74 min: Anthony Martial tries his luck with a shot from distance, which Nick Pope saves comfortably. Corner for Manchester United.

72 min: Manchester United continue to dominate possession but are struggling to convert it into anything resembling decent goalscoring opportunities. They’ve been bang average tonight, truth be told.

69 min: Man United double-substitution: Dan James and Brandon Williams make way for Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard, meaning Ole Gunnar Solskjær has changed his team’s entire left side.

68 min: Juan Mata flicks the ball over both defensive wall and cross-bar.

67 min: Ben Mee fouls Dan James on the edge of the penalty area, giving away a free-kick directly in front of goal, inside the D on the edge of the penalty area.

65 min: Another free-kick from deep is lumped into the United penalty area. Ben Mee gets the knockdown and it doesn’t fall quite in the right place for Jack Cork, who gets his legs in a tangle while trying to control it and goes to ground. A let-off for United, if truth be told.

64 min: Dan James cuts in from the left and curls a shot from the edge of the penalty area around the right upright. It’s a decent effort, but Burnley will be happy to restrict United to long range efforts like that all night.

62 min: Looking at replays of that Rodriguez goal, it gets better with every viewing. There didn’t appear to be anything on for him, but the ball sat up nicely as he unleashed the shot that went in off the underside of the cross-bar from a very tight angle.

61 min: Now Steve McManaman is criticising the cowardice of assorted Manchester United players, pointing out that the only player on their side prepared to take responsibility is Wan-Bissaka, who is a young right-back and one of the club’s most recent arrivals.

58 min: That’s definitely one for the show-reel. Jay Rodriguez picked up the ball wide on the left. Without appearing to look goalwards, he smashes a surface-to-air screamer past David De Gea, beating the stunned goalkeeper at his near post with a shot that fizzed into the top corner.

55 min: Burnley will be very happy with how things are going in the early stages of this second half. They’re nursing a one-goal lead and are keeping Manchester United at bay quite easily. With the exception of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, their hosts are completely lacking in cutting edge.

54 min: “Who me?” asks an incredulous Juan Mata when he’s penalised for a foul just outside the Burnley penalty area. On BT Sport, Steve McManaman criticises Manchester United’s players for taking the easy option rather than trying to take on and beat men when they have the ball at their feet. They are, he says, afraid of getting booed if they try anything clever and it doesn’t come off.

52 min: James Tarkowski is on hand to block at the near post as the ball threatens to make its way to Dan James in a good shooting position.

50 min: Aaron Wan-Bissaka dispossesses Dwight McNeill with a good tackle over by the touchline. The Burnley winger would have been away down the left flank without that intervention.

49 min: Burnley appeal for a penalty when Fred slips in his own penalty area and inadvertently hits the ball with his arm twice upon landing. As he had no way of getting out of the way of the ball, it’s not a spot-kick.

48 min: Ashley Westwood’s corner is a poor one, failing to clear Greenwood at the near post.

47 min: Mason Greenwood concedes a corner, despite taking the ball off McNeill’s toe about 40 yards from his own goal.

47 min: Dan James canters down the inside left and his shot towards the Burnley goal takes a little nick off Matt Lowton before sailing into the arms of Nick Pope.

Elsewhere in the Premier League: Leicester City lead West Ham 3-1 but have lost Jamie Vardy to injury. At White Hart Lane, Tottenham lead Norwich City 2-1. Both those games are in their closing stages.

45+2 min: Ashley Westwood sends in a wonderful corner-kick, which almost finds Wood. David De Gea punches clear.

45+1 min: Burnley win another free-kick in the centre-circle. The ball’s played to Lowton, who lumps it towards the far post. Nemanja Matic wins his header against Mee this time, but concedes a corner. From that, they win another one.

44 min: Another shot from Pereira, who pulls a harmless low, diagonal effort from distance across the face of goal and into the waiting arms of Pope. A nearby pitchside microphone picks out a contemptuous cry of “SHITE!” from a nearby spectator with a Mancunian accent.

43 min: A hopelessly optimistic Andreas Pereira tries a shot from distance that prompts whistles of derision from the fans behind Nick Pope’s goal.

40 min: Well, that could scarcely have been more direct, but whatever works, eh? Very much against the run of play, United have conceded from yet another set-piece. The ball was wellied to the edge of the penalty area, where Ben Mee headed it into the mixer. Wood’s finish was excellent, his reactions commendably quick as the ball sat up for him about 10 yards from goal.

37 min: Lowton sends a hopeful ball from deep towards the Manchester United penalty area, trying to pick out Chris Wood. David de Gea claims the ball with a minimum of fuss.

36 min: More crisp, quick passing from Manchester United as they unsuccessfully try to find an opening in the Burnley defence. They make it to the edge of the final third before Matt Lowton intervenes and wellies the ball 60 yards down the pitch.

33 min: Charlie Taylor dives in with a perfectly timed tackle to prevent Anthony Martial from opening scoring after being teed up in the Burnley penalty area. A poor first touch from the United striker didn’t help his cause.

31 min: More good play from Wan-Bissaka, who gets the better of McNeill down the right and sends a cross arcing into the Burnley penalty area. The ball goes out for a corner, with Pope diverting Dan James’s header wide. Nothing comes from the set-piece.

30 min: Dearie me. Burnley win a free-kick just outside the Manchester United penalty area in a great position, but Dwight McNeill balloons his effort high over the bar.

28 min: No sooner do I type that than Juan Mata misses a glorious opportunity to put Manchester United ahead. Aaron Wan-Bissake sends in another cross from the right and it takes a slight deflection off a defender. On the edge of the six yard box, Mata completely misses the ball when he looked certain to score.

27 min: As we approach the half-hour mark, you’d have to conclude the people who chose not to occupy their seats tonight made a very wise decision. THere’s not much in the way of entertainment here, with neither side providing any cutting edge.

24 min: Chris Wood heads a good chance narrowly wide from the edge of the six year box. Burnley had a free-kick a long way out, the ball was lumped into the box, where Wood was teed up by a knock-down from Mee. Had he hit the target he would have scored, although the pointy-heads at VAR HQ might have had something to say about either his (a) possibly being offside and (b) sly shove in the back of Harry Maguire as the ball came in.

23 min: ANthony Martial tries to pick out Dan James, who is on a gallop down the left wing. His pass is intercepted by Tarkowski.

23 min: Nick Pope gets down quickly to save a low left-footed drive from Fred.

21 min: Empty seat watch: There are visible clusters of unoccupied seats dotted here and there around the ground. Unsurprising, I guess, seeing as it’s a school night and the opposition aren’t particularly glamourous.

19 min: Manchester United continue to dominate, with Burnley having got just one touch of the ball inside their hosts’ penalty area. Pereira picks out Wan-Bissaka on the right and United work the ball across the face of the Burnley penalty area. Excellent pressure from the defence sends them backwards again, with Harry Maguire forced to pass the ball back into his own half. Good, well organised defending from the visitors.

16 min: Dan James plays the ball wide to Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who squares the ball for Anthony Martial. It’s on a plate for the Frenchman, who sticks out a toe and somehow steers the ball well off target when scoring looked easier. A poor miss, or is he still lame from his injury in the opening minutes?

15 min: Manchester United are forced back into their own half by the Burnley press, with Matic eventually passing the ball back to his goalkeeper, David de Gea.

13 min: Manchester United have started well and are moving the ball around quickly and largely accurately, their full-backs fully involved as they play high up the pitch. No chances of note for either side yet, mind.

11 min: Aaron Wan-Bissaka gets the better of Taylor and sends a low cross fizzing into the Manchester United penalty area from the right. Andreas Pereira is unable to turn and shoot, trapped as he is in the shackles of Jack Cork. Good defending from the midfielder.

10 min: Brandon Williams jinks this way and that on the inside left, before sending in a cross. Fred shapes to pull the trigger, but his shot is blocked by Charlie Taylor.

9 min: Manchester United corner. Andreas Pereira sends the ball into the penalty area, where Nick Pope claims comfortably.

8 min: Matt Lowton hoofs the ball long for Jay Rodriguez to chase, but the Burnley forward runs it out of play under pressure for a throw-in.

7 min: There’s a pause in play as Anthony Martial receives treatment after landing awkwardly. He gets to his feet and hobbles to the touchline and then limps back on when summoned by the referee. I’m not sure he’ll be able to continue for much longer, although he may just run the injury off. It looks like he’s twisted his ankle.

6 min: United fans concerned about the presence of Phil Jones in their team’s ranks will be relieved to hear the defender has started reasonably well in this, only his second Premier League start of the season. He’s had a couple of good clearing headers and made one interception on the deck so far.

4 min: Manchester United play the ball out from the back, with assorted Burnley players pressing hard. Their pressure and hard work pays off as Harry Maguire sends a wayward pass out for a throw-in.

3 min: Juan Mata gets forward down the right touchline, with Andreas Pereira in support. A promising looking move breaks down when Aaron Wan-Bissaka is flagged for offside.

2 min: Fred shoots from just outside the Burnley penalty area, but fails to get any power on a shot which rolls tamely wide.

Phil Bardsley: The Burnley defender is out with a back injury. He wanted to play, according to his manager Sean Dyche, but the Burnley manager didn’t want to risk him doing a Rashford and making things worse.

Not long now: Out march the teams, with the players of Manchester United wearing red shirts, white shorts and black socks. Burnley’s wear light blue shirts, shorts and socks, perhaps in the hope it will lend the occasion a derby feel and help them play like Manchester City.

A win for Manchester United ... would move them within three points of Chelsea in the battle for fourth place, following the failure of Frank Lampard’s side to see off 10-man Arsenal last night.

Into the dragon’s den: This is not something I’ve noticed before - Manchester United training tops festooned with a dragon motif to celebrate the 2020 Chinese New Year. A quick Google reveals they were debuted ahead of their match against Norwich City earlier this month. Weirdly, 2020 is the Year of the Rat, but I suppose a giant rodent motif wouldn’t look quite as ... em, fetching.

An email: “Here in the U.S. there is a brand new commercial on NBC Sports promoting their coverage of the Premier League in which the voice over man declares ‘Manchester United’s resurgence has them climbing back up the table;,” writes JR in Illinois. “For real. What a world we live in, eh?” Resurgence, eh? Nurse! The screens!

Growing apathy at Old Trafford? It may just be the particular echo chamber of Twitter that I inhabit, but I couldn’t help but notice a few Manchester United-supporting folk mention today that they either weren’t bother going to tonight’s game, or knew other fans who couldn’t be bothered to go. If the sight of empty seats at Old Trafford becomes a regular one, the Glazers and Ed Woodward would not be best pleased, even if they are almost entirely to blame for this apparent apathy.

Those teams ...

The Phil Jones klaxon has been sounded loud and clear over Old Trafford, with this match perhaps coming a little too soon for Eric Bailly, who has been out all season with a knee injury. Mason Greenwood starts on the bench, with Andreas Pereira and Juan Mata getting the nod ahead of him. Luke Shaw also drops to the bench.

Sean Dyche makes one change to the Burnley side that beat Leicester at the weekend. Matthew Lowton is in for Phil Bardsley, who is not in the match-day squad.

Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba latest ...

Manchester United target Bruno Fernandes will not still be at Sporting Lisbon after the summer and Paul Pogba may decide to leave Old Trafford, according to the players’ agents.

Portugal international Fernandes is a United target this month, although reports suggest the clubs cannot agree a fee. Jorge Mendes, who is helping to broker the midfielder’s exit, confirmed that Fernandes will leave Sporting this summer, if not this month.

“If he will not leave now he will leave for sure in the summer because Sporting, they have spoken already with other clubs and something will happen,” Mendes told Sky Sports News. “I’m not sure if [it will happen] now or the end of the season.”

Speculation over Pogba’s future at United rumbles on, with his agent Mino Raiola refusing to rule out a summer move for the France midfielder.

“I expect my players to be happy and I expect the clubs to be happy,” he said. “That is my work. I do not want to work in front of what might be happening in the summer. For now he needs to be getting fit and then it is my job to get both parties, if possible, happy. If one of those parties is not happy then there are other ways to resolve that.

“But that is not today the way to talk or to speculate. I don’t say anything for sure. There’s only one thing for sure in life and that is that one day you die. A lot of people did not think he would have gone back to Manchester United, people tend to forget that, people tend to imagine that Manchester United was the only club he could have signed for.

“That was not the case. He chose Manchester United. Maybe [Sir Alex] Ferguson did not like that but he chose Manchester United.”

Early team news ...

Having been sent on to play against Wolves last week despite suffering from a back injury that he promptly made worse, Marcus Rashford is expected to be out for up to three months, while Victor Lindelof is also a doubt after being sent home early from training by club medical staff yesterday. With Marcos Rojo and Axel Tuanzebe also injured, Eric Bailly or Phil Jones could start in the heart of Manchester United’s defence. Midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay also remain sidelined.

Shaun Dyche is comparatively lucky and has an almost fully fit squad to choose from. He will, however, be without Ashley Barnes, who is recovering from a hernia operation, but Icelandic winger Johann Berg Gudmondsson could feature after recovering from a hamstring injury.
