Under-Pressure Man United Host Burnley as Amorim Seeks First Win of Season

The Old Trafford fixture is cast as a must-win after the Grimsby cup upset put Ruben Amorim under acute scrutiny.

Overview

  • Manchester United are winless in three competitive games after a 12-11 penalty shootout loss to League Two Grimsby Town followed a 2-2 draw in normal time.
  • Multiple outlets report Altay Bayindir is likely to start in goal after Andre Onana’s midweek errors, with Benjamin Sesko widely tipped for a first Premier League start.
  • Amorim acknowledged his frustration in his pre-match media duties, saying at one point that “sometimes I want to quit,” while insisting focus has turned to Burnley.
  • Newly promoted Burnley arrive with three points from two league matches and a Carabao Cup win over Derby, though United are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with the Clarets.
  • The 3pm kick-off will not be shown live on UK television due to the broadcast blackout, with live radio coverage available on BBC Radio 5 Live.
