Burnley boss Sean Dyche wants end to Andre Gray furore

Sean Dyche hopes returning Burnley striker Andre Gray will be allowed to move on from the ill-judged social media posts that earned him a four-game ban.

Gray will be back on duty against Manchester United on Saturday for the first time since September 17, having been suspended for a series of offensive - and in one case homophobic - tweets dating back to 2012.

The 25-year-old has apologised for sending the messages, which appeared during his time with non-league Hinckley United, and stressed he turned over a new leaf long before arriving at Turf Moor.

Burnley have condemned the posts but supported their player and now manager Dyche hopes to draw a line under the incident.
