Burnley fullback Phil Bardsley insists they deserved something from defeat at home to Manchester United.

A superb David de Gea save prevented Bardsley equalising with his first Burnley goal.

United then wrapped up a 2-0 win at Turf Moor when top scorer Marcus Rashford scored with virtually the last kick of the game.

"It was a half-decent hit and de Gea makes a good save," said Bardsley, whose last Premier League goal came for Sunderland in December, 2013.

“It would have been nice if it had gone in, but it wasn't to be. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully I'll get one for Burnley in the near future.

“It's never nice to lose a game but I thought we were in the game for the majority of the second half.

“Players make mistakes. It's part and parcel of the game. It's how you react and I thought we reacted well, especially in the second half.

“I thought we were terrific and caused them a lot of problems. We created a number of chances and were unlucky not to come away with something."
