One game at a time. Burnley first, then Liverpool. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was clear about his intentions and good to his word.
The Manchester United manager picked a team to match Burnley’s physicality at Turf Moor on Tuesday night. ‘A proper sample of English football,’ as he described it before kick-off.
This was a big United team. Eric Bailly at the back, Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic in the middle, and Edinson Cavani up top.
Harry Maguire played even though he was one booking away from missing Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash at Liverpool through suspension.
