Greenwood says "Everything is possible" in the title race after he scored twice to help the Reds defeat Burnley and close the gap on Premier League champions Manchester City to 8 points.

Greenwood saw his impressive opener after the break rapidly cancelled out when Tarkowski rose above  Maguire to level.

Mason Greenwood put the hosts back in front 6 minutes from time with a fierce left-footed strike that bounced beyond goalkeeper Bailey at the front support. Cavani appointed in from close range in walkout time to wrap up the win at Old Trafford.

The guests' direct attacking play had caused Manchester United glitches of their own and they had the ball in the net after 14 seconds.

Chris defeat goalkeeper Henderson to a drifted delivery on the edge of the penalty area and headed into an empty goal, only to be correctly labeled offside.

It means Manchester United’s are now 8 points behind leaders Manchester City in 2nd place with 6 matches to play, while Burnley FC remain 17th and 6 points above the relegation zone.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Speaking to BBC Sports: "You never know, anything can happen in either box. Any time they get a cross in with their quality you've got your heart in your mouth. We built some pressure, especially down the left, wanted to do the right things and we got the goals we wanted.”

"We will keep concentrating on what we're doing and keep winning. Keep the momentum going."

Burnley manager Sean Dyche Speaking to BBC Sports: "The energy and shape of our side was good. You have to get that right at these places. We were pretty tidy with our defending apart from a couple of moments.”
