“Can we catch City?” said boss Solskjaer beforehand. “Stranger things have happened in football. Bigger leads have been given away.”
“He’s mixing up his game. He goes inside and outside, he’s maturing all the time,” said Solskjaer. “It’s lovely to see. He’s put the work in on the training ground and reaps the rewards.
“I’ve seen how mature he is on the training ground and he plays with maturity and understanding.”
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to BBC Sport: “You never know, anything can happen in either box. Any time they get a cross in with their quality you’ve got your heart in your mouth. We built some pressure, especially down the left, wanted to do the right things and we got the goals we wanted.
“We knew there’d be long balls, win the first one, win the second one and stop the ball into the box. The delivery was great and we had to work hard again.
“We will keep concentrating on what we’re doing and keep winning. Keep the momentum going.”
Burnley boss Sean Dyche: “The energy and shape of our side was good. You have to get that right at these places. We were pretty tidy with our defending apart from a couple of moments.
“I thought we asked questions and created some really good moments. We were in the game and threatening on the break. We were chasing the game after that and left ourselves exposed.
“The mentality is strong here, you can see that from the players.”
On their relegation battle: “Brighton are there as well – it seems like you never mention them. We’ve worked hard for everything we’ve had in the Premier League.”
