WELCOME! Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE digital coverage as Manchester United host Burnley in the final game of 2021. Kickoff at Old Trafford is at 20:15 GMT.

UNITED LOOK TOO OPEN:

Lennon plays in Wood in plenty of space who hammers a shot narrowly wide from the edge of the box but he is flagged offside.

McNeil's shot is blocked by Shaw. It is crossed back in and Wood's diving header is well over, he was unmarked and well onside.

Some slow buildup play from both sides, not much tempo, especially from the home side.

KICK OFF: United get us underway.

5 mnutes until kickoff!

For the home side, there is the chance to go joint fifth with West Ham.

As for Burnley, they will climb out of the relegation zone with a win.

When asked if he felt he has made as much progress as he had hoped after a month as interim manager, Rangnick replied: "Of course not.

"I mean, [for] every coach, every ambitious coach, there's no difference between other coaches and myself in that, [everyone] wants to take faster steps and larger steps forward.

"But in order to do that, you need to be able to train. And as you know, we had to close Carrington for four days. Before that, we had eight or nine field players in training directly after the Norwich game and they only came back in small bits and pieces.

"So in the last three days, we were almost back to full strength with regard to the size of the squad, but we couldn't do that much in training.

"On the other hand, in those two or three training sessions, the team look good… It was, in Monday's game, a negative surprise the way that we played with regard to game speed, tempo and physicality."

Burnley are without a win in their last nine Premier League away games (D4 L5), since winning 2-0 at Fulham in May. They last had a longer run without a win on the road between August 2016 and April 2017 (17 games).

The Clarets, who are playing their first match in 18 days due to Covid postponements, start with Hennessey in goal with Pope not in the squad while Lennon comes in for Rodriguez.

Ralf Rangnick rings the changes after the poor performances against Norwich and Newcastle.

Out go Varane, Dalot, Telles at the back with Bailly, Wan-Bissaka, and Shaw in.
