Following their FA Cup exit, the Clarets were back in Manchester for the second time in four days at the end of January and this time left with a big result.
It could have been even better as a 2-0 lead with just minutes to go put Sean Dyche’s men within touching distance of becoming the first Burnley team to win at Old Trafford since 1962.
A Paul Pogba penalty and an injury-time strike from the unlikely figure of Victor Lindelof ruined that dream.
But the Clarets became the first to deny Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a victory since he became Manchester United’s acting boss and prevented the former United striker from becoming the first manager to start a Premier League reign with seven successive wins.
