Under-Fire Man United Host Burnley as Amorim Weighs Goalkeeper Call and Front-Line Reset

Pressure on Ruben Amorim has intensified after a shock Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby and a winless start to the league campaign.

Overview

  • Manchester United seek a first victory of the season at Old Trafford against newly promoted Burnley today, with a 3pm BST kick-off not shown live in the UK due to the blackout.
  • United crashed out of the Carabao Cup to League Two Grimsby after a 2-2 draw and a 12-11 shootout, a night that featured Andre Onana errors and prompted Amorim’s public frustration.
  • Team selection is under scrutiny, with reports suggesting Altay Bayindir could replace Onana in goal and calls for Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko to start together up front.
  • Transfer moves around the squad continue, with multiple outlets reporting an agreement to sell Antony to Real Betis and United accepting terms on a potential loan for Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli, pending the player’s decision.
  • Burnley arrive with three points from two league games and confidence after recent wins, as Scott Parker praises United’s individual quality but targets a disciplined display.
