Manchester United v Burnley ratings: Rashford 8, Eriksen 7; Maatsen 7, Beyer 4

Erik ten Hag's team advance to League Cup quarter-finals after 2-0 win

• 

  MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Martin Dubravka - 5. Came out for a 35th minute Burnley cross and didn’t fully connect with effort, almost leading to a goal. Another dodgy moment a minute later when a Casemiro pass back went under his feet. Took a poor touch on 92. Unconvincing, but a clean sheet. PA

• 

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 8. Athletic to stretch for a Fernandes call and volley-cross the ball to Eriksen for the first goal. A fine assist. Solid test for him against a top of the table, high pressing, Burnley side. Good reception when he went off. AFP

• 

  Victor Lindelof - 7. A chance to impress before Varane and Martinez return, though he played on the left side of the centre. Turned by Benson in a 33rd minute Burnley attack. Defended well against the powerful Barnes. PA

• 

  Casemiro - 7. Played at centre half and tackled well. Neat ball behind the Burnley defence. Blocked Barnes as Burnley came forward. Poor ball to concede possession for an 82nd minute attack. Read game well. Had 126 touches. No other player had more than 84. PA

• 

  Tyrell Malacia - 7. Up against Burnley’s best player, Benson. Switched to right back when Shaw came on in front of the 62,000 crowd. His first game in over a month as he didn’t feature for Holland in Qatar. PA

• 

  Scott McTominay - 5. Gave ball away in an early attack. Drive forward to set up Martial on 40. Set up by Rashford on 51 but failed to hit the target. Awful pass to set up a Burnley attack on 52. Reuters

• 

  Christian Eriksen - 7. Put his side ahead, sweeping in a Wan-Bissaka cross for his second goal of the season – and second goal in as many United games. AP

• 

  Bruno Fernandes - 8. Set up Garnacho for an early chance, then played a beautiful ball across to Wan-Bissaka to set up the first. Controlled the game. Fine crossfield ball to Rashford on 51. Sprinted the length of the field to support an Antony attack – but the ball from the Brazilian was a poor one. Stupid late booking means he’ll miss the quarter-final. AFP

• 

  Alejandro Garnacho - 6. Should’ve scored after 10 and took a poor second touch in a 15th minute attack. Quiet. PA

• 

  Marcus Rashford - 8. Won the ball back for an 8th minute attack. Integral to well-worked short corners. Got in good positions and set up McTominay for a chance on 51. Then provided the best moment of the game, running from his own half, beating three players and shooting into the corner. Eight goals in his last nine EFL starts. Dummies, nutmegs. Confident. Man of the match. Getty

• 

  Anthony Martial - 7. Super footwork before he shot on target on 40. Pulled a defender away from Rashford to help him score the second. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Antony - 6. On for Garnacho after 58 and went to the right. Surged upfield on 76, before delivering a poor ball behind Fernandes. Booked for kicking an opponent. Shot on target on 83. Reuters

• 

  Anthony Elanga - 6. On for Martial after 71 and went right. PA

• 

  Luke Shaw - 6. On for Wan Bissaka after 71. Competitive minutes after his World Cup exertions. Getty

• 

  Fred - N/A. On for Rashford after 85. Brandon Williams - N/A. AFP

• 

  BURNLEY RATINGS: Bailey Peacock-Farrell - 7. A solid performance between the sticks, with a crucial save to deny Martial in the first half. The goalkeeper could not be faulted for the two goals. AP

• 

  Connor Roberts - 5. Couldn’t maraud forward as he would have liked in an average performance from the right-back. Getty

• 

  Taylor Harwood-Bellis - 6. Had a torrid time in the first half but much better defensively in the second. PA

• 

  Jordan Beyer - 4. Never looked comfortable against Rashford and he was left twisting and turning as the United winger went on to find the bottom left corner. PA

• 

  Ian Maatsen - 7. Unlike Beyer, the left-back looked assured and stood up well up against Rashford, and the Chelsea loanee had the better of him in the first half. AFP

• 

  Josh Cullen - 6. Worked hard and tracked back. The midfielder was carded in the second half after several robust challenges. PA

• 

  Jack Cork - 6. Got stuck in and produced plenty of strong tackles in the middle of the park before being replaced in the final minute. PA

• 

  Manuel Benson - 7. Looked a real threat on the right, but he should have done better after being gifted the ball by McTominay in a promising position after the break, slicing the ball wide of Dubravka’s goal. Limped off after 63 minutes and was replaced by Churlinov. AP

• 

  Josh Brownhill - 5. Terrific work rate but the former United academy player was largely anonymous. Getty

• 

  Johann Berg Gudmundsson - 8. The midfielder showed his quality in possession, characterised by a sublime diagonal pass to Churlinov which cut through the entire United defence. AFP

• 

  Ashley Barnes - 5. Good hold-up play overall, but the experienced striker should have got on the scoresheet. He snatched at his chances, blazing over the bar from the penalty spot, and firing wide with his final touch before being substituted after 82 minutes. PA

• 

  SUBS: Darko Churlinov (Benson, 63') – 5. The substitute was put through by a perfect Gudmundsson pass, but his shot trickled wide of the target. AFP

• 

  Scott Twine (Barnes, 82') – N/A. Conrad Egan-Riley (Cork, 89') – N/A. Charlie Taylor and Samuel Bastien - N/A. PA

Marcus Rashford scored a superb solo effort as Manchester United moved into the League Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 victory over Burnley at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Returning to action after the World Cup - and for their first match since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure - United went ahead in the 27th minute through a close-range finish from Christian Eriksen.

The advantage was then doubled 12 minutes into the second half when Rashford, who scored three goals for England in Qatar, darted from his own half into the visitors' box before drilling into the net.

"There is space in front of you and you're almost waiting for the right time to get a pass off but the gap opened and thankfully it went in," Rashford told Sky Sports.

It was Rashford's first match since England's World Cup quarter-final loss to France, with the forward saying: "It was such a disappointing feeling to be knocked out and you have to pick yourselves up.

"There is no time to feel sorry for yourself. You need to pick up results and thankfully we did that today."
