Our Manchester sources tells us that Alex Ferguson was keen to get a game arranged to give central defender Wes Brown a run out. Brown hasn’t played this season because of injury but Manchester United will be keen to ensure they have plenty of fit defenders by mid-January with Rio Ferdinand set to take a break.
The match is unlikely to be reported with little likelihood of establishing who is in the Burnley team but certainly for any of the youngsters who get a game it will be a good experience coming up against some of the Man United players.
And who knows – when Stan was there pre-season he brought Luke Chadwick back with him.
