Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick praised goalscorer Scott McTominay after victory over Burnley.

McTominay struck early to set the tone for the 3-1 win.

Rangnick said, “We only decided this afternoon at two o'clock that he would play because he still had some problems with his ankle that he suffered at Newcastle. So it was good to have him available and in the team.

"At half-time, our team doctor said he would be struggling in the second half after the level of pain but it was important to have him in the team and he was able to play for 93 minutes.

"A very important player for us today."
