Manchester United players look relaxed in build up to must-win Premier League clash with Burnley

Jose Mourinho's side can salvage their reputation against the Clarets after losing two games on the bounce
MANCHESTER UNITED stars have put on a brave face ahead of this weekend’s must-win clash with Burnley.
Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic looked relaxed as they enjoyed an afternoon away from the training ground on Friday.
The Manchester United stars were spotted roaming through Hale Village, Cheshire.
Lingard attempted to keep a low profile by wearing an all black Adidas tracksuit with a hat and sunglasses to cover his face.
But Juan Mata stunned onlookers as he pulled up in his Aston Martin to meet up with one of the United coaches.
After parking his £70,000 Mercedes GL, Matic made the most of his free time by nipping in to the bank.
Matteo Darmian and Ander Herrera soaked up the Cheshire sunshine as they strolled through the village in shorts.
The Reds have endured a shaky start to the season, picking up just three points from their opening three games.
United chief Ed Woodward is at loggerheads with Jose Mourinho after a disappointing run of results and a shambolic summer of transfers.
And the executive vice-chairman has become so concerned by the club’s preparations for matches that he is now monitoring training sessions.
But Woodward will be pleased to see that the players look focused before this weekend’s crunch clash.
After beating Leicester on the opening day of the season, United lost to Brighton and Tottenham.
Mourinho looked positive as he pulled up to training on Thursday with a smile on his face.
