Man United are having an extremely difficult start to the new season, having only won 1 point after the first 2 rounds of the Premier League.

The climax of the disappointment was the humiliating defeat to fourth-tier Grimsby Town in the English League Cup after a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. This defeat not only eliminated the "Red Devils" early but also exposed a bland and uncharacteristic style of play.

The pressure is weighing heavily on coach Amorim's shoulders, and the match against Burnley is seen as a valuable opportunity for him to help Man United find victory.

In contrast to Man United's poor start, Burnley are in a good mood. Coach Scott Parker and his team have just had 2 consecutive victories. Including a 2-0 win over Sunderland in the 2nd round of the Premier League and a victory over Derby County in the English League Cup.

These results give them more confidence before the challenging trip to Old Trafford.

However, being "cornered", Man United is predicted to crush the new player to regain the trust of fans.

Bookmakers give the odds for Coach Amorim's team to concede 1.5 goals for the whole match and half a goal in the first half. Meanwhile, the over/under for the whole match is 2.75 goals (first half is 1.25).

The head-to-head record is completely in the Red Devils’ favour. They are unbeaten in their last 23 Premier League games against newly promoted teams (W20 D3).

In the last 20 encounters with Burnley in all competitions, Man United also had an overwhelming advantage with 12 wins, 6 draws and only 2 losses.

However, their recent home form is a big concern as they have lost eight of their last 13 Premier League games.

Man United’s most anticipated star is undoubtedly Bruno Fernandes. A notable statistic is that the Portuguese midfielder has contributed to 10 goals in the last 8 matches against rookie teams (4 goals, 6 assists).

The home team will continue to be without the services of central defender Lisandro Martinez and defender Noussair Mazraoui due to injury.

Coach Amorim is likely to make several changes. New signing Benjamin Sesko is likely to make his first Premier League start and goalkeeper Andre Onana will return to goal.

This is the moment when Man United is most vulnerable but "the last straw". Facing a rookie like Burnley at home is the best opportunity for Mr. Amorim and his team to relieve all pressure and win their first victory.

Expected lineup:

Man United: Onana; De Ligt, Yoro, Maguire; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko.

Burnley: Dubravka; Walker, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman; Ugochukwu, Cullen; Larsen, Mejbri, Anthony; Foster.

Prediction: Man United 3-1 Burnley.
