FAYC: Burnley 1 United 5
Paul McGuinness' under-18s produced a scintillating attacking display to crush Burnley and emphatically advance to the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup.
The Reds' youngsters delivered five wonderfully-taken goals and overran the hosts, who were reduced to 10 men in the second period and could find solace only in a late consolation goal after being completely outclassed.
Skipper Davide Petrucci opened the scoring, before braces for Josh King and William Keane took the Reds through to a fifth round tie at Blackburn or Leyton Orient in style.
United had been quietly in control of the opening exchanges before Petrucci struck on 22 minutes. A patient, probing nine-pass move culminated in King's shot being blocked, but the Italian was the first to react to the loose ball and he expertly sidefooted a low finish around a cluster of players and just inside the post.
The coolness of his finish was matched by King six minutes later. Larnell Cole profited from defensive hesitancy from the hosts by nicking the ball just outside the six yard box, before drifting to the byline and pulling the ball back to King on the corner of the area. Although Burnley were slow to apply pressure, the Norwegian's arced finish inside the far corner was nothing short of majestic.
United were, by now, totally dominant, and it was no surprise when a third goal arrived on 34 minutes - and once again it was a top class strike to admire. After Nicky Ajose had won the ball, it arrived back at him via Ryan Tunnicliffe and Larnell Cole,and he curled a gorgeous pass through for Keane, who lobbed home without breaking his stride.
The prolific striker could have doubled his tally a minute later as he raced in behind a static defence, but he dragged his left-footed finish just past the far post. Indeed, only a fine save from goalkeeper Danny MacDonald prevented Petrucci from adding a fourth before the interval as United ran riot.
It took only five minutes of the second period for United's fourth to come, however. King intercepted an errant pass, outstripped his marker for pace, cut inside another defender and, as the ball ricocheted up, lashed in a finish via slight deflection.
As the game lulled, with United in total comfort and Burnley spent of all but their pride, the hosts were dealt a further setback when Thomas Anderson was handed a second yellow card for illegally halting Keane's run on goal.
Substitute John Cofie, on for the injured King, soon joined the list of players thwarted by MacDonald when his powerful run was denied a near-post finish by the goalkeeper's strong hand. On 79 minutes, the Clarets goalkeeper was at it again; parrying Cofie's low shot and clutching Keane's improvised backheel from the ensuing scramble.
Both Cole and Tunnicliffe were narrowly off-target with low drives in the closing stages as United continued to press, but it was the hosts who struck next, on 84 minutes, when Joe McKee scrambled home an untidy goal after the Reds had failed to clear.
Fittingly, however,United had the final say four minutes later. The imperious Paul Pogba nicked possession and found Cofie, whose neat flick released Keane to bear down on goal and drill in an unerring left-footed finish: a fitting finalé in a swaggering, clinical performance from the Reds.
United: Devlin; Massacci (Fornasier 75), Wootton, McGinty, Ajose; Cole, Tunnicliffe, Pogba, King (Cofie 63); Petrucci (Lingard 68); W Keane.
