Chris Smalling has revealed Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's simple instruction to his players

Former Red Phil Bardsley was shown a yellow card for a late tackle on the United centre-back in the 67th-minute and the plan was then to attempt to expose the Clarets' right-back.

"I think as soon Bardo was on a yellow card, the instructions were just to give it to Anthony [Martial] as soon as we can because, when he is running at people, he is a danger," Smalling explained to reporters. "His goal was brilliant.

"I think him and Marcus [Rashford] have both played on that left side and both have chipped in with goals and assists, and it's great for us that we have such great attacking flair."

The 1-0 win was secured on the back of a fifth successive clean sheet for United, with Smalling in fine form at the back.

"It was a battle and I think you know what you are going to get when you come here," he explained. "You are going to battle first before you can play. It was a great win because many teams come here and lose or draw.

"When the game is 1-0, it is in the balance and they had a couple of corners at the end, so it was a bit nervy but we did well as a team."
