David de Gea
Could have anticipated the direction of Aaron Lennon's shot better but had an otherwise quiet night as Burnley squandered their openings. 6
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
An important block at 0-0 and ended up in nosebleed territory of the left wing. Not an upgrade on Diogo Dalot. 5
Eric Bailly
Erred for Lennon's goal when he was dispossessed by the winger similarly to Raphael Varane at Newcastle and then got injured. Not the send-off he wanted ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. 5
Harry Maguire
Won a fair amount of aerial duels but he was uncomfortable against Chris Wood and backed off when Lennon charged forward. 5
Luke Shaw
A resounding return. Proactive, attack-minded and almost scored. When Shaw is on it, he is United's best left-back. 7
Scott McTominay
Scored his first club goal since February with a fine finish to make it 1-0 and was denied a second when Wayne Hennessey tipped onto the crossbar. 8
Nemanja Matic
Had little impact in place of the dropped Fred. Should have been more cynical and halted Lennon's run. His presence benefited McTominay. 6
Jadon Sancho
Often sloppy with the ball and when he was direct he forced the second goal, albeit an own goal by Ben Mee. 6
Mason Greenwood
Alert on the ball but quiet in the first-half. Drew a save in the second on a more upbeat evening than in Newcastle. 6
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ended the first-half with an assist and a goal when his most memorable action was skying a one-on-one. Could have scored more. 6
Edinson Cavani
Dropped deep too often for United's specialist number nine and lacked an outstanding chance to build on his equaliser at Newcastle. 6
Subs
Raphael Varane
Replaced the injured Bailly and was steady. 6
Diogo Dalot
Late cameo on the right wing. 6
Fred
Came on in added time. N/A
Manager
Made proactive changes to the front four and freshened up at full-back, while McTominay benefited from playing next to a sitting midfielder. 6
