Man United 3 Burnley 0

Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney and youngster Mame Biram Diouf struck against Burnley to ease the pressure on embattled Manchester United.

Off the field United are facing harsh criticism over their financial predicament, but it was back to business as usual on the pitch with victory over the Clarets.

Berbatov made the breakthrough thanks to a deflected effort on 64 minutes, and a neat finish from Rooney doubled the advantage shortly after. Substitute Diouf then scored his first United goal late on to seal the win.

Van der Sar, 6.5: Played well, but unable to command his defence, way too quiet.

Neville, 5: Lack of pace shown against Eagles. Time to lead United off the field.

Brown, 5.5: Bad game, luckily Burnley strikers are off form.

Evans, 5.5: As Brown, poor defending.

Evra, 6: Attack well, but out of position several times in defence, needing Evans to cover him.

Valencia, 7: Dominated the right wing, but team mates cannot finish off his crosses.

Carrick, 6.5: Was there both in attack and defence, though not much serious threat.

Scholes, 6: Some good, long passes, but did not do much else.

Nani, 6: One of his better games this season and it was only an average display, time to sell him.

Berbatov, 7: Played well despite having injury, nice touches and a good goal.

Rooney, 6: Many wayward passes and poor touches, lucky to score after delaying for too long.

Subs:

Anderson (sub Carrick 64, 5) Standing stil while defending and did not make any good forward pass, where was the Anderson of 2 years ago?

Owen (sub Berbatov 73, 5.5) Need to track back to receive balls.

Diouf (sub Rooney 73, 6.5) Looks lively and composed, clever goal.
