Manchester United No2 Mike Phelan insists they didn't take Burnley lightly last night.

Phelan, who began his own playing career at Turf Moor, told the BBC United knew full well what to expect from the visit to Lancashire.

“This is Burnley’s night and they’ve worked very hard to get to this position. We didn’t take them lightly and I don’t think anyone will now that they’ve beaten Manchester United on their own patch.”
