Burnley manager Sean Dyche was encouraged by his team's display in the 1-0 loss to Manchester United on Tuesday.

The Clarets fought hard at Turf Moor but ultimately succumbed to a volley from Paul Pogba with just under 20 minutes remaining.

"I thought it was a good performance against a top side who are going well," Dyche said.

"We've been improving as the season's gone on. I thought they dealt with [the VARfest] as best they could. I thought it was a foul immediately. On another day that tackle's just a little bit too high, a little bit too late.

"You don't want to see people red carded but on another day he might have gone off for that. But the game's not about VAR for me. After half-time they had a good 20, 25 minutes and they scored a goal from a deflection. They had chances but not golden chances, and we created a few ourselves particularly at the end."
