Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged his manne to dig deep and find their fire as they line up to face Burnley at Old Trafford tonight.
The Red Devils know they will be given hell by Sean Dyche’s Clarets, with the visitors unbeaten on their last three trips to Old Trafford.
After a goalless draw in October 2016, United had to come back from 2-0 down to get a Boxing Day draw in 2017 and it was the same story last term, with Victor Lindelof scoring in stoppage time to make it 2-2.
Solskjaer is looking for a repeat of the character his players showed that night.

He says: “Last season here was the first time I saw the players coming back from a setback.
“We were 2-0 down with seven or eight minutes to go, we got back into the game with 2-2, so we’re going to approach this game as we would do if they had won five in a row.
“They’ll always give you a tough game.”
United ran out 2-0 winners over the Clarets at Turf Moor at the end of December, but Burnley came from behind to beat Leicester 2-1 on Sunday, the same day United went down 2-0 to Liverpool.
And Solskjaer says his team will have to “earn” their three points with his injury-hit team.
He adds: “We played them two or three weeks ago every time we play against Sean’s team, we know we have to earn it.”
