Manchester United defeated Burnley 3-1 in a friendly today.

The Manchester Evening News reports Harry Maguire, Jesse Lingard and Fred were all on the scoresheet while Jadon Sancho made his first start since joining from Borussia Dortmund.

But Raphael Varane wasn't involved as he continues to work his way up to fitness, having only begun training with the rest of the squad yesterday.

The United team that started the game was: Tom Heaton, Diogo Dalot, Eric Bailly, Harry Maguire, Brandon Williams, Nemanja Matic, Donny van de Beek, Jesse Lingard, Jadon Sancho, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial.

Victor Lindelof and Fred came off the bench for United at half-time, but a raft of changes were made on the hour mark when Phil Jones, Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Daniel James, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, James Garner and Hannibal Mejbri were introduced.
