Manchester United vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Saturday for a crucial Premier League clash against Burnley, with manager Rúben Amorim under intense pressure.

The team must respond after being dumped out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by League Two Grimsby Town in midweek, a result described as one of the most embarrassing in the club’s history. A home fixture against a newly-promoted side is therefore a must-win to prevent the early-season slump from turning into a full-blown crisis.

Manchester United vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United team news

Rúben Amorim is set to recall his senior players after a heavily rotated side was humiliated by Grimsby.

Despite fielding a strong team that included André Onana, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and Mahtheus Cunha, United lost a marathon shootout. Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are likely to return to the starting lineup.

Marquee signing Benjamin Šeško was handed his first start in that cup tie but struggled to make an impact and missed several chances. He is likely to drop to the bench, with Joshua Zirkzee potentially leading the line. Bryan Mbeumo, who scored in the cup, is a strong contender to start.

The manager is still without key defender Lisandro Martínez (ACL), while Noussair Mazraoui (knock) remains a major doubt for this fixture.
