The Portuguese manager dropped keeper Andre Onana following the cup defeat, while new signing Benjamin Sesko remained on the bench.

Summer acquisition Bryan Mbeumo netted his first top-flight goal for the Red Devils, with Bruno Fernandes ultimately sealing the win from the penalty spot in the dying moments of the match.

Concerns arose as Matheus Cunha limped off with an injury, but Burnley performed admirably, twice coming from behind and only narrowly losing after conceding the decisive spot-kick.
