Man Utd No2 Phelan: We didn't take Burnley lightly

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.

“[Burnley beating Manchester United] will surprise some people but when you come to Turf Moor you’re never going to get an easy game. We expected them to come at us and put us on the back foot – we just didn’t handle it as well as we should have done.

“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.”
