Starting lineup
Pre-match information
Coach Ruben Amorim is aiming for his first win of the season with Manchester United when hosting Burnley at Old Trafford.
The shocking Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town in midweek can be considered the worst result in the Portuguese strategist's coaching career to date.
Despite coming back from a 0-2 lead to a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire, the "Red Devils" still fell on penalties.
Notably, Mbeumo was the one who missed the decisive penalty. This is also the first time in history that Man United have been eliminated from the tournament by an opponent from League Two.
This disappointing result has put Amorim under even more pressure. So far, he has won just 35.6% of his 45 official games with Man United - the lowest tally of any manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the end of 2012-13 season.
In the Premier League, Man United's start was also unimpressive when they lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the opening round, before being held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham last weekend.
Meanwhile, coach Scott Parker's team has just ended a series of 4 consecutive defeats with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at Turf Moor. However, Burnley have not won back-to-back Premier League games since April 2022.
Old Trafford is no longer a stronghold of Man United. The Red Devils have lost eight of their last 13 home Premier League games - their worst in the league, level with Tottenham.
However, Man United still maintained an impressive statistic: unbeaten in the last 23 matches against newly promoted teams in the Premier League (20 wins, 3 draws). Their most recent defeat was a 1-4 defeat to Watford in 2021 - the match that ended Ole Gunnar Solskjær's reign.
Burnley traveled to Manchester with confidence, when Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony both scored and assisted in the win over Sunderland. Parker himself is also eager to improve his personal record, as the last time he won back-to-back Premier League games was more than five years ago.
