Manchester United vs Burnley live updates

Marcus Rashford scored a superb solo goal as Manchester United booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 win over Burnley.

The 25-year-old ran from the halfway line before smashing a low shot into the far corner to double United’s lead, after Christian Eriksen’s opener in the first-half.

Both sides saw early chances go begging, as Ashley Barnes headed wide and Alejandro Garnacho forced Bailey Peacock-Farrell into a smart save in the opening ten minutes.

United started to assert their dominance in the game and eventually took the lead when Eriksen tapped home from inside the six-yard box following a clever pull-back from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Anthony Martial saw a shot saved before Burnley’s Manuel Benson hit the side netting at the other end.

Benson forced United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka into a good save as the first-half drew to its conclusion, but United remained on top.

The second half was more of the same to begin with, and Scott McTominay went close before Rashford’s superb solo effort.

Burnley spurned a couple of huge chances towards the end, first when substitute Darko Churlinov failed to convert when one-on-one and then again when Barnes fired over from close range.

Perhaps Burnley’s biggest chance of the game came seven minutes from time when Barnes latched onto a cutback from Gudmundsson but could only fire wide from 8 yards out.

United saw out the rest of the game and secured their place in the last eight of the competition.
