• Man Utd are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Burnley.

• Burnley have failed to score in two of their last three clashes with United.

• Recommended bet: Bryan Mbeumo - Anytime Goalscorer

A midweek Carabao Cup defeat at Grimsby plunged Manchester United to new depths and mounted more pressure on the shoulders of Ruben Amorim.

Despite improved displays in their opening two league games of the season, much of the optimism around Old Trafford seems to have disappeared.

They now face a Burnley team that head to Manchester having secured their first win of the new Premier League campaign — a 2-0 success over Sunderland last Saturday.

The Clarets have won just one of their last 18 meetings with the Red Devils and Amorim will hope that trend continues this weekend.

Prediction

Wednesday’s League Cup shock once again highlighted the unpredictable nature of Man Utd, so it is hard to have much confidence in them going into Saturday’s showdown.

They do not have a good recent home record either, with just one victory in their last six matches at Old Trafford.

Going off their opening two league performances, Amorim’s men should have enough to see off a newly promoted team, but how much will the Grimsby defeat have dented confidence?

Burnley played better than the scoreline suggested at Tottenham on the opening weekend and back-to-back wins — over Sunderland and Derby — will increase their optimism.

A better way to go than predicting a winner is to consider the goal markets and United’s Bryan Mbuemo appeals as an anytime goalscorer.

The Cameroon international — who has had three shots in the opening two league games — missed the decisive penalty on Wednesday and will be determined to make amends.

It is also worth noting that Mbuemo scored against Burnley the last time he faced them in the Premier League, bagging the second in Brentford’s 3-0 home win over the Clarets in October 2023.
