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.

Manchester United vs Burnley
Relegation-threatened Burnley make the short trip to Manchester in need of points to aid their quest for top-flight survival. Vincent Kompany's side have belatedly revived hopes of avoiding an immediate return to the Championship, and last week's 4-1 success over Sheffield United put the Clarets within three points of escaping the drop zone. They have now lost just one of their last seven league matches but have only ever beaten Man Utd twice in the Premier League.

After securing their first Premier League success since early March, having subsequently picked up just three points from four league matches, Manchester United are seeking back-to-back wins today. The Red Devils returned to sixth spot following a 4-2 defeat of rock-bottom Sheffield United on Wednesday, but they still need points to ensure European football for next season. In the most turbulent manner, Erik ten Hag's side also booked their place in the FA Cup final courtesy of a penalty-shootout victory over Coventry City last weekend and will meet Manchester City in next month's final.
