Chris Wood was happy to hand the credit to the Clarets’ defensive unit after setting up Burnley’s first win at Manchester United for 58 years.
Wood steered home his 10th goal of the season before a Jay Rodriguez rocket early in the second half put Sean Dyche’s men two goals ahead for the third season in a row at Old Trafford.
On both previous occasions the Clarets have then had to settle for a point as United have hit back.
But this time they kept the Red Devils at bay to secure a famous 2-0 victory as goalkeeper Nick Pope and those in front of him secured an eighth clean sheet of the Premier League season.
