Manchester United moved to third place in the Barclays premier league with a 3-1 victory over Burnley.
The Red Devils were always going to hold stronger cards at Old Trafford but Burnley’s star striker Danny Ings was one nuisance for United’s defense all game.
The young England international was the only scorer for the visitors as goals from Smalling and Robin van Persie earned Man United all three points.
With Southampton drawing against West Ham United, the Devils are a point ahead of the Saints who have to play in form Liverpool next.
Colombian international Radamel Falcao had another mundane outing and did nothing to assure that Man United should make his loan move permanent.
Falcao could not combine well with Robin van Persie and did not have one clear cut chance all game and was substituted for Wilson.
Louis van Gaal’s men play Swansea next in the premier league but first they have to focus on FA Cup game vs Preston.
Here are Manchester United player ratings vs Burnley.
