Manchester United will face off against Burnley at Turf Moor earlier this evening as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Leeds United recently, so they would be eager to secure a win following Ruben Amorim’s dismissal from his head coaching position recently.

The Mancunian club will lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation and are expected to make one change to their first team for this game. Joshua Zirkzee could get a chance to play from the start of this game, while Leny Yoro makes way for him and drops to the bench.

4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Burnley

Defence

Senne Lammens will feature in between the sticks for Man United after shipping in one goal in his last league outing. Ayden Heaven will resume his defensive partnership with Lisandro Martinez at the centre of the Man United backline as they look to keep a solid shape at the back throughout the game.

Luke Shaw will get the nod to impress as the left-back, while Diogo Dalot hopes to put in a good showing on the other side as the right-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves in the final third.

Tyrell Malacia will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Manuel Ugarte will function along with Casemiro as they look to dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Matheus Cunha, Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu will play just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to move the ball well if they are to create some decent chances in the final third.

Jack Fletcher and Shea Lacey will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Benjamin Sesko will lead the charge for the Mancunian club up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat in the final third.

Bendito Mantato will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the contest if required.
