MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased with his team's clinical finishing in a 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley but unhappy with sloppy defending which could have cost them against the battling visitors on Sunday.

United were let off the hook after just 13 seconds, when an untimely rush by Dean Henderson allowed Burnley striker Chris Wood to head the ball home over the goalkeeper, but his effort was ruled out for a marginal offside.
