BURNLEY - MANCHESTER UNITED: MARTIAL KEEPS UP WINNING RUN

Manchester United laboured to a 1-0 win away to Burnley to put pressure on Manchester City, with Anthony Martial scoring the only goal.

Manchester United moved to within nine points of Premier League leaders Manchester City, at least temporarily, with a 1-0 win away to Burnley on Saturday.

A superb strike from Anthony Martial early in the second half was enough to give Jose Mourinho's side a fourth victory in a row in all competitions, despite a lacklustre overall display.

The goal, Martial's ninth in the league this season, was the highlight of a game low on quality and sent a timely reminder to manager Jose Mourinho ahead of the suspected arrival of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.
