United’s hopes of doing the double over the champions-elect received a huge blow in the 17th minute when Wes Foderingham was sent off and from that point, it was damage limitation against the division’s best side.
They held out until the second half, but a double from sub Johann Berg Gudmundsson sealed another victory for Burnley after they secured promotion to the Premier League on Friday evening. Here’s how we rated United’s players after a tough night at Turf Moor...
13. Sub: Adam Davies 4
Made a smart stop late in the first half as Beyer tried his luck from distance. Wasn't really troubled again until Gudmundsson smashed home the opener which he couldn't do much about. Will not look back at Burnley's second with much fondness as he came out of his goal and got caught in no man's land under a deep cross, allowing Gudmundsson to smash home after a clearance into his path Photo: Richard Sellers
