Burnley persisted with their efforts in the 14th minute, as Brownhill fired a shot from outside the box that sailed wide.
A golden opportunity presented itself for Burnley in the 17th minute when Ameobi found himself one-on-one with Onana, yet his grounded attempt agonizingly kissed the post.
Manchester United’s jubilation was short-lived as their 25th-minute goal, courtesy of Evans’ towering header from a corner, was annulled due to Holland’s offside position interfering with the goalkeeper.
Undeterred, Manchester United relentlessly sought to extend their lead. In the 30th minute, Rashford fed a pass to Holland inside the box, but the latter’s effort drifted narrowly wide.
After a lull in proceedings, Ramsey’s strike from the edge of the box in the 42nd minute was expertly parried away by Onana.
