Chris Smalling has revealed Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's instruction to his players in the second half at Burnley at the weekend.
Anthony Martial scored the only goal from an assist by Romelu Lukaku.
"I think as soon Bardo was on a yellow card, the instructions were just to give it to Anthony [Martial] as soon as we can because, when he is running at people, he is a danger," Smalling explained to reporters. "His goal was brilliant.
Phil Bardsley got a yellow card for a late tackle in the 67th-minute and this saw Clarets' right-back exposed.
"I think him and Marcus [Rashford] have both played on that left side and both have chipped in with goals and assists, and it's great for us that we have such great attacking flair."
"It was a battle and I think you know what you are going to get when you come here," he explained. "You are going to battle first before you can play. It was a great win because many teams come here and lose or draw.
"When the game is 1-0, it is in the balance and they had a couple of corners at the end, so it was a bit nervy but we did well as a team."
