Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Burnley have physically very strong and clever strikers

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is wary of Burnley's attack ahead of tonight's clash.

Avoiding defeat will see United go top of the table.

Solskjaer said, "Well, you know there's Barnes or Wood or Rodriguez with the quality of delivery from Westwood, McNeil and Robbie Brady, who we know about, and also Gudmundsson.

“We know about their deliveries and also crosses in open play – the full-backs bomb on and put crosses in.

"They have physically very strong and clever strikers and there are not many teams that have had a striker partnership as long as they have because they know each other inside out – I'm sure they even know what they each eat for breakfast, their centre-forwards! [Smiles] It's a challenge we just have to embrace and be ready for."
