Manchester United vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after Zeki Amdouni equaliser
Follow all the action from Old Trafford
Manchester United take on local rivals and relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
In their last outing, Erik Ten Hag’s side claimed all three points, but it was a tumultous game against rock-bottom Sheffield United and the Red Devils needed to come from behind twice to claim the 4-2 win.
After that match Manchester United had scored at least two and conceded at least two in their last five matches in all competitions.
Manchester United went into the match battling against Tottenham and Newcastle for the final European places, with too sizeable a gap between themselves and Aston Villa to have a reasonable chance of finishing in the Champions League places.

Bruno Fernandes has already created three chances so far today, and Man Utd's 1-0 victory at Turf Moor earlier this season was owed to their captain scoring the winner. He will surely remain a central figure for the rest of this match - particularly as Burnley are giving him plenty of space.

Burnley are enjoying plenty of early possession, and a tidy move ends with Odobert being edged off the ball by Maguire deep inside Manchester United territory. Kompany will be heartened by his side's start.
