Manchester United Preview and News
Ruben Amorim’s team didn’t have the start they hoped for. The Red Devils played well against Arsenal and Fulham in the first two rounds, but managed to get just one point from these two matches. Now it’s time for United to step up their game.
Against Burnley, we could finally see Benjamin Sesko’s first start for Manchester United. The club’s summer signing started from the bench both against Arsenal and Fulham. But obviously United needs some firepower at the moment. Sesko playing alongside Cunha and Mbeumo could be the key for the team’s attack.
Matheus Cunha is among the players who shall revive this Manchester United team. The Brazilian was very active against Fulham, but didn’t have enough luck to score. The positive signals are there, though – Cunha is getting used to his new team’s dynamics, so maybe very soon we will see the best of him.
Burnley Preview and News
Burnley will travel to Manchester in a good mood after recording their first Premier League for the season. Scott Parker’s team hosted Sunderland at home and scored twice for a solid 2-0 win at the Turf Moor. Burnley scored both of their goals after the break when Cullen and Anthony found the net.
Jaidon Anthony will be one of the threats for United’s defence on Saturday. Against Sunderland, he already scored his first goal for the season. Meanwhile don’t miss United’s former ace Hannibal Mejbri – a player who usually do interesting things on the pitch thanks to his creativity.
It’d be interesting to see Kyle Walker’s return to the Old Trafford as well. We guess he won’t be greeted nicely by the fans given the fact he’s a former Manchester City captain. But his experience would be crucial for the Clarets.
