Burnley defender Pieters: Man Utd still a good team

Burnley defender Erik Pieters says there'll no underestimating Manchester United tomorrow night.

The Clarets host United after their FA Cup elimination by Middlesbrough on Friday.

Pieters said, “They're still a good side with quality players but you have to look at your own performance and I believe we can make it difficult for them.

"I've tried to help Wout as much as possible, it's nice to have another Dutch guy in the team.

"It's been good to have him around and I'm happy to have him here. He's good on his feet and you can see he's a real goal-getter."

On their draw with Watford, he added: "[Goalkeeper] Nick Pope made a couple of good saves and a clearance off the line but we can do better and we should do better. On a positive note we kept a clean sheet and got another point on the board."
