David de Gea
Had little to do on a much-needed serene afternoon after the recent debacles at Brighton and against Tottenham. 6
Antonio Valencia
Had maybe his most productive game in the year. Much more mobile going forward and provided a cross which found a teammate. 7
Chris Smalling
Vindicated Mourinho's decision to retain him with a stable performance, although there was a drop in class from Tottenham to Burnley. 7
Victor Lindelof
Started nine of his last 11 United matches alongside Smalling and seems calmer next to him. More alert than he has been recently. 7

Luke Shaw
His consistent form continued. Shaw was showing plenty of adventure before his surge unlocked Burnley and resulted in the second goal. 8
Nemanja Matic
Passed prudently in a slightly more advanced role in the midfield three. Matic was a worthy conduit between defence and attack. 6
Paul Pogba
Heckled with 'what a waste of money' chants from the natives and his pathetic penalty gave Burnley hope in a game where there should have been none. 5
Marouane Fellaini
Don’t miss
Played deep in midfield and shielded the back four commendably. Pressed at times and helped shore up the United rearguard. 7
Jesse Lingard
His movement befuddled Burnley almost from the off and his neat build-up play was instrumental as United opted for a slicker style. 7
Alexis Sanchez
Was booked before he clipped a delicate dink in for Lukaku to convert and Sanchez's backheel sent Shaw on his way en route to the second. 8

Romelu Lukaku
Was having a bit of a bumbling afternoon before he headed in Sanchez's centre and his goalscoring continued with a ruthless second. Still squandered great chances. 8

Marcus Rashford
Stupidly sent off. 2
Ander Herrera
Shored things up. 6
Eric Bailly
