Burnley VS Manchester United Preview
this Red Devils part ways with Amorim What appeared to be stability for his project this week turned out to be a false dawn due to a lack of cohesion with the club’s short-term and long-term goals.
If players are frustrated by this, it probably doesn’t matter as Scott Parker’s Burnley side are in deep funk. The Clarets are winless in 11 Premier League games, drawing just twice. Burnley are now nine points behind safety but have a game in hand against 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.

Burnley vs Manchester United Prediction
This shouldn’t be too big a game, especially with Bruno Fernandes returning. Scoring goals is a huge ask for Burnley, and overtaking Manchester United is an even bigger ask. If United don’t win this game, or at least get past the Clarets decisively, the club could be in very, very bad shape. Will this be a big game for Benjamin Cesc? Or will Joshua Zirkzee start? either way… Burnley 0-2 Manchester United.
