15:24Here's O'Neill.
15:27Manchester United ninth this morning.
15:30Burnley second in the first division.
15:32Such a closely contested race that the teams now are level on points.
15:37And there were certain positions different this morning.
15:46There's a win a match these days and you can shoot up from the middle of the table to the
15:51top almost.

16:55the end, and there goes the whistle, we've had a go with the last kick of each match, each half,
17:03and Manchester United have won, four goals to one.
