Burnley boss Sean Dyche wants his side to make things awkward for Manchester United in the Premier League on Tuesday.

The Clarets take on the Red Devils, with the latter still smarting from their FA Cup fourth round defeat on penalties to Championship side Middlesbrough.

Dyche will be hoping to take on United at what is a low point for them, but he knows that his side must battle for every loose ball to have any chance of getting a positive result.

"You hope they are (vulnerable) but you can't guarantee it. They have some very big players with real quality," he said during his pre-match press conference.

"There is a bit of noise for many different reasons around Manchester United at the minute.

"Particularly when we play the bigger teams, the superpower clubs, we make the game feel different and feel awkward for them, mixing the play and asking different kinds of questions and we have found we can win these kind of games and get results. That's our job and that's what we intend to do."

"I think there is a little bit of nervousness. We are not stupid, we have to continue the strong record we have had over the years at Turf Moor.

"If you win games, the fans feel great, but I'm certainly not going to question our fans in any shape or form.

"We have to deliver a performance which will give them that feeling, and we are trying to.

"I thought we performed really well at their place (they lost 3-1 at Old Trafford in late December) and late on created some good chances, statistically it was one of our best performances.

"They've had a bit more time to work with the manager, who's had some time to get across his thoughts.

"But I think we can build on the mentality from that performance and the last couple."
