CLARETS reporter Tyrone Marshall hands out the ratings from Burnley's Premier League defeat to Manchester United at Turf Moor.
Joe Hart 8 (Man of the Match)
Could maybe come for cross for first goal, but kept Burnley alive with a string of fine saves, including from Pogba’s penalty
Phil Bardsley 6
A surprise inclusion and found life tough against Sanchez, who set the first goal up and enjoyed plenty of space to attack.
James Tarkowski 6
Lukaku gave both central defenders a tough time, winning the physical battle and finding space to run into
Ben Mee 6
Lost Lukaku for the first goal. Made one brilliant recovery tackle late in the second half after Lukaku had rounded Hart
Charlie Taylor 6
Has earned his chance at left-back and had a much quieter afternoon than Bardsley. Flicked initial block goalwards for second goal
Aaron Lennon 6
Grew into the game as it went on and tested Shaw when United were down to 10, but Burnley’s attacking threat was limited
Ashley Westwood 6
Unfortunate role in the second goal but midfield was dominated by United and struggled to impose himself on the game
Jack Cork 6
Struggled with the physicality of Pogba, Matic and Fellaini as United bossed the midfield battle, especially in the first half
Dwight McNeil 7
Another bright showing from the 18-yeard-old. Twice took on shots from distance and didn’t look overawed
Jeff Hendrick 5
Restored to that No. 10 role and looked a shadow of the player who had impressed on Thursday night.
Chris Wood 5
Got no change from Lindelof and Smalling. Unhappy at the physical treatment he got but hold-up play was poor.

Sam Vokes for Hendrick (58)
Ashley Barnes for McNeil (80)
Matej Vydra for Wood (84)
