Manchester United got back to winning ways at turf moor thanks to a brace from Romelu Lukaku. Mourinho has had it rough in recent times in the english press after his side fell to consecutive defeats against brighton and tottenham. Mourinho decided to deploy fellaini and matic in a strong defensive two, dropping new signing fred on the bench.
Manchester United dominated the game creating a host of chances in a game where Lukaku should have scored a hatrick.
Alexis sanchez lofted a nice through ball over the head and Lukaku made no mistake this time, climbing ahead of tarkowski to make the score 1-0. Lukaku would go on to score a much needed second goal just before half time after lingard's shot was blocked by a resilient burnley defence.
A Marcus Rashford red card made the game entertaining at the end after he was seen head butting ex-manchester united defender phil Bardsley. The english foward lost his cool and he was rightly sent off in a game Mourinho felt should have been done and dusted by half time.
