Burnley 0-2 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis | Premier League: 2019-20

#4 Encouraging displays from Martial and Pereira

Martial scored again, while Pereira and Brandon Williams delivered encouraging displays too

That leads me nicely onto my next point. Solskjaer made four changes to the side that recovered from an early scare to rout Newcastle 4-1, with Nemanja Matic making his first league start since late September. He rotated his fullbacks, while Daniel James started on the right-hand side of his 4-2-3-1 formation with Martial leading the frontline.

Martial took his goal well, had another cleared off the line in the first-half and on another day, probably would have scored a hat-trick. It's fair to say since his arrival from Monaco four years ago, he's mixed impressive displays with more frustrating performances - while battling persistent injuries and adapting to various creative roles.

His reputation in-front of goal bares resemblance to a flat-track bully of sorts, which isn't helped by big-game displays. Since scoring in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal on December 5 last year, only two of his 16 goal contributions have come against the league's top six sides.

Questions over his best position will continue to rumble with Rashford a more natural number nine, especially when comparing their goal record. Nonetheless, he's netted three goals in United's last two games and they have a plethora of important matches against winnable opposition to start 2020 across all competitions - so renewed confidence in-front of goal is never a bad thing.

Elsewhere in the starting lineup, Andreas Pereira enjoyed another encouraging outing after doing enough on Thursday to retain his starting berth in the number ten role. It's a position that best suits the Brazilian, who turns 24 next week.

Despite making his debut six months before Martial, it's important to remember he's yet to make 50 PL appearances for United (currently 37) and is benefiting from squad rotation at a time where Solskjaer needs players he can rely upon. He's now got an assist in successive games and although there are questions over his decision-making and long-term suitability at United, these productive displays will help.
