If not now, when, Man United?
The "Red Devils" have played 16 Premier League games this season, now the most anticipated moment: The first leg of the trade-off against Burnley. An unmatched match is an advantage but also a concern for M.U. When there are still many competitions, adding more matches is more of a burning down for players. However, things are different now.
The match against Burnley at Turf Moor will be a great opportunity for Man United to take the top spot. With less points against Liverpool, even 1 point against the team ranked 16th, Ole Solskjaer's team will create a memorable milestone.
For nearly half a decade, the top of the foggy league suddenly became a strange thing for the red half of Manchester. Even the current position of the "Red Water" is an unbelievable achievement, if we realize that they are only in 15th place at the beginning of the season.
Man United's revival has brought all kinds of emotions, from disappointment to hope, and gradually became the norm. In the last 10 matches, Ole Solsa and his team are unbeaten, including 8 wins and... in any case. Winning big against Leeds, just "enough" against Aston Villa or Wolves, then making a hard comeback against West Ham and Everton.
Not having to face many strong opponents, in addition to Man City and Leicester, also during the uncertain period, Man United was somewhat lucky. But that cannot be denied their efforts, no Premier League team has been more persistent than them in the past 10 matches.
When pillars like Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, etc. are in their "refined" stage, determined to be suppressed for many years, Man United only has the goal of stepping up to the top. It was the beginning of further ambitions, like "taking the opportunity and winning the Premier League" in line with De Gea's motto.
Don't be subjective against Burnley
The obstacle in front of M.U is Burnley, who are 16th in the Premier League, but don't underestimate coach Sean Dyche and his team. They are in good form, having won 3/4 of their most recent matches in all competitions. The 5-point gap with the group holding red lights is not too safe but creates many advantages.
The gap of more than 1 win was enough to help Sean Dyche and his team feel secure in welcoming Man United. Moreover, they will be more determined to get points, so that they can soon break away from the danger zone. Playing at home at Turf Moor, Burnley are of course more eager to defeat their opponents.
However, a favorable result will probably only come when coach Sean Dyche solves the outstanding problems. First of all, it is the problem of scoring. 9 goals in 15 matches, the numbers are so bad that they have exposed Burnley's inherent weakness. Remember, Harry Maguire and David de Gea are not average players.
In addition, a strong mentality is also something to consider. It's true that Man United are playing too well away from home, but only when Burnley are not afraid, do they make a difference.
The first round of compensation match between Burnley and Man United takes place at 3:15 am tomorrow morning (13.3 am Vietnam time), live on K+.
