Vine: Wayne Rooney is nutmegged by Burnley’s Kieran Trippier

This pretty much sums up United's afternoon.

England captain or not, he won’t live this one down any time soon.

Burnley full-back Kieran Trippier made an absolute mug out of Wayne Rooney as Manchester United struggled to break down Burnley at Turf Moor.

This is worth it for the look of resignation on Rooney’s face afterwards alone.

The game itself was an absolute dud, with United’s failure to muster meaningful opportunities growing more and more stark the longer the match went on.

New boy Angel di Maria had a debut to forget and was replaced by Anderson on 65 minutes.

United should have been given a penalty in the final five minutes when a shot by Ashley Young was blocked by the hand of Ashley Barnes, but referee Chris Foy waved it away.
