"I think for us it gives us the chance to measure ourselves against some of the best and see how close we are," said the Turf boss “It’s a game we want to perform in and improve in and measure where we’re at, so we’ll treat it like all the other games.

“That in itself is more exciting for me, more than the fact we’re going to Old Trafford, it will be a test and we look forward to it. For me, It’s going to be about discovering how close or how far we are, everything else around it will be what it is."

McTominay ready to take on Burnley.

Mctominay: "I should score more goals. The manager has actually spoken to me about that and shown me clips and ways I can be more effective in the game: making assists, scoring goals. If you do certain little details, you can get yourself in those positions more often."
