Turf Moor is the venue for the tie on December 16th

Turf Moor will be the venue for the third round tie, which takes place on Monday, December 16th (kick-off 7 p.m.).

It is the third time in five seasons that the Clarets have been drawn against United in the FA Youth Cup.

Terry Pashley’s youngsters knocked out the 10-time winners at Old Trafford last season, when striker Jason Gilchrist memorably scored a hat-trick in a 4-3 thriller that was settled in extra time.

That followed a 5-1 defeat at Turf Moor against United in January 2010 in the fourth round - with Joe McKee scoring Burnley’s consolation.

The Bob Lord stand will be open for the game and admission on the turnstiles, all-pay, is Adults £3 and concessions £1.
