Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says there is no chance his players can think they have "cracked it" if Manchester United go top of the Premier League with a positive result against Burnley Tuesday.

After a truncated pre-season and poor start to the campaign, the Red Devils head to Turf Moor level on 33 points with reigning champions Liverpool.

United have not mounted a sustained Premier League title challenge since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down in 2013 but Solskjaer is not in the mood for title talk.

FA Cup holders Arsenal beat Newcastle United 2-0 Saturday as non-league Chorley knocked out coronavirus-ravaged Derby County and West Bromwich Albion suffered an embarrassing third-round exit against Blackpool.

The trip to Burnley will finally see United play the game in hand that has been hanging over them all season after their opener was pushed back to give them time to recover from August's Europa League finals.

Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof could be available after injury, while Edinson Cavani returns from a three-match ban for a social media post that included a racial term.

United will be juggling Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League exertions over the coming months but Solskjaer is not expecting any more new faces, having wrapped up a deal for Atalanta teenager Amad Diallo.
