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.

"Disappointed we conceded straight away," Solskjaer told the BBC."We knew there'd be long balls, win the first one, win the second one and stop the ball into the box. The delivery was great and we had to work hard again. Fortunately for Solskjaer, Greenwood restored United's lead in the 84th minute with a heavily deflected shot before Cavani sealed United's win with a close-range tap in after a flowing move which started on the edge of their penalty area.

Instead, he stressed staying in form in the Premier League with a top-four finish in sight would help United's goal of winning the Europa League as they face AS Roma in the semi-finals.
