Fletcher Takes Charge as Manchester United Visit Burnley After Amorim’s Exit

United enter as favorites due to Burnley’s winless run.

Overview

  • The Premier League match at Turf Moor is on Wednesday, 7 January at 20:15 GMT with live coverage on Sky Sports Premier League.
  • Burnley sit 19th with 12 points from 20 games and are winless in 11 league matches as injuries and Afcon-related absences thin their options.
  • Darren Fletcher leads United on an interim basis following Ruben Amorim’s dismissal in what will be his first game in charge.
  • Reports suggest Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount could return to the squad, while several players on both sides remain unavailable.
  • Bookmakers price United as favorites at roughly 7-10 with Burnley around 4-1, though United’s poor defensive record—including a long run without an away clean sheet—tempers confidence.
