Good afternoon, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Burnley v Manchester United. The hosts will be looking to conclude a thoroughly miserable week for their guests, in which they've spent a heck of a lot of money to little effect. Louis Van Gaal's charges, meanwhile, will want to justify their price tags and their manager's faith in them. That includes Angel di Maria, who starts this afternoon.

26'
CHANCE! That Manchester United defence is particularly shaky. Arfield's header from Jutkiewicz's cross from the left is wide.
25'
Fletcher reckons he hasn't fouled Shackell. Free kick to Burnley in the centre circle regardless.
24'
The camera cuts to a yawning Sir Alex Ferguson.
23'
Van Persie fouls his marker, and Burnley begin to build from the back again.

Manchester United’s one point from their opening two matches is their second-worst points haul from their first two Premier League matches in a season – after they lost the first two games of the 1992/93 season.
21'
Manchester United are looking more dominant now; every Burnley clearance is falling to a white shirt.

Oh dear, smart ball in from Di Maria and his colleagues (well, Juan Mata) can merely fall over and fumble in the box.

And again De Gea is quick off his line and out of the box to sweep up a ball that Ings looks likely to grab.
17'
De Gea tries a bit of flashiness on the ball, and manages it with aplomb, turning away from the oncoming Burnley attackers.
16'
Van Persie appeals for a corner, but referee Chris Foy gives a goal kick. He's right to, that bobbled off the striker.

And Van Persie on the break with no offside flag (he's level, just) - his shot is charged away by Heaton.
14'
Burnley on the break with no offside flag, but De Gea is in control.
13'
Rooney looks to play Van Persie in, but can't; it falls to Di Maria on the left but his lengthy cross is easily dealt with.
12'
Jones hauls Di Maria to the ground, with a last-ditch effort of grabbing his ankle. Some fine traditional English league tackling there.
11'
Exchange of passes between Van Persie and Mata, allowing Valencia to play a cross in to a packed box. It's out for a throw-in.
9'
Burnley are looking much tougher in midfield than United at the moment, chasing down with energy, and United aren't putting anything together.
8'
Quieter now after that frantic opening. The sun's come out as well.
