BURNLEYAnthony Martial proved the match-winner for Manchester United as Jose Mourinho took time off from his high-profile pursuit of Alexis Sanchez to mastermind a 1-0 victory at Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday. The Frenchman scored in his third consecutive Premier League game for United — the first time he has accomplished that feat — on a day when the pending arrival of Sanchez from Arsenal was still very much the centre of conversation. United took the lead after 54 minutes with a goal that owed everything to Romelu Lukaku's strength and persistence as he won an apparently lost cause in midfield. Young's chip into the area found Pogba who lobbed the ball, first-time, over the goal and Pogba sent Martial away for a shot which was well blocked from a promising position. On the stroke of half-time, Pogba again set up an opening for Martial with the winger this time placing a shot wide of Pope's left-hand post from just inside the area.
