Manchester Utd vs Burnley Prediction & Tips
One of the highlights of the third day of the Premier League sees Manchester United take on Burnley this Saturday at 4 p.m. at Old Trafford. After a very difficult last season, the Manchester club is not looking reassuring at the start of this season. Despite a major transfer window (Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko), it has yet to enjoy any success in the Premier League. In addition to a defeat against Arsenal (0-1), they were held to a draw by Fulham (1-1) the following matchday. To make matters worse, the Red Devils were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the round of 32 by a fourth-division side, Grimsby. Ruben Amorim’s team managed to come back from a two-goal deficit before losing on penalties.
This new Premier League fixture against a promoted side will not be so straightforward. Last season, Burnley pulled out all the stops to finish second in the Championship and return to the top flight of English football. The Clarets struggled on their opening day, suffering a heavy defeat at Tottenham (3-0). However, they didn’t wait long to bounce back, beating Sunderland in a clash between the two promoted sides (2-0). A few days later, Scott Parker’s men qualified for the Carabao Cup round of 16 after beating Derby (2-1). They will arrive at Old Trafford with high ambitions.
