Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The Tunisia international made just his second Premier League start in the clash with the Clarets, alongside Casemiro and Scott McTominay in midfield.<\/p>\n

A Bruno Fernandes volley was the difference between the sides as his spectacular strike was the only goal in a 1-0 win for Ten Hag\u2019s men, but it was Mejbri that the Dutchman had fulsome praise for after the match.<\/p>\n

On the string of injuries that have led to Mejbri getting a start, Ten Hag said: \u2018Of course it\u2019s a concern. You have so many injuries. You bring players in like [Rasmus] Holjund and you can\u2019t bring them in slowly. They\u2019re not used to playing together. Like Hannibal who did a perfect job.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hopefully it gives us confidence. It\u2019s only one win. Tuesday is the next game.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ten Hag added on Hojlund and first Mejbri: \u2018Brought energy in the team but the pressing from Rasmus Hojlund was very good. We controlled the game in that spell.\u2019<\/p>\n

There were good performances from the youngsters, but also a grizzled veteran as Jonny Evans was an unlikely star of the show for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

After his surprise return to the club over the summer, the 35-year-old was in the starting XI due to injury problems and was impressive.<\/p>\n

He was unlucky to have a goal disallowed, then turned provider as he aimed a brilliant long pass to set-up Fernandes\u2019 superb volley.<\/p>\n

Safe to say the Northern Irishman enjoyed his first Manchester United start since 2015, saying it was the best night of his life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018I loved every minute of it,\u2019 he said. \u2018Before the game you get a feeling, I couldn\u2019t wait, just pure excitement. Coming up here on the bus I was buzzing. That was my 200th game for Man Utd, I never thought I would ever reach that figure \u2013 the best night of my life.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ten Hag said of the centre-back: \u2018He showed personality. He was calm, composed, did everything right. Very good performance.\u2019<\/p>\n
