After only 3 matches of the new season, the Red Devils are showing signs of panic and disorientation. Against a Grimsby team far inferior in class, MU suffered a humiliating defeat on penalties.
Having to say goodbye to the League Cup early in the second round put a thousand pounds of pressure on coach Ruben Amorim, who was criticized as "cowardly" for not daring to watch his players' decisive penalty kick.
Obviously, many unusual things are happening at MU - the team has not known victory since the beginning of the season, when losing to Arsenal, drawing with Fulham and being embarrassed by Grimsby Town.
Ruben Amorim became the coach with the lowest winning percentage of MU (35.5%), after Sir Alex Ferguson. Rumors of the Portuguese coach's dismissal have begun to appear.
Indeed, after 10 months in office, with 200 million pounds spent on renewing the attack, Amorim's team has yet to show positive signs, from personnel to playing style.
With the pressure mounting, MU has no choice but to defeat Burnley to dispel the dark clouds gathering at Old Trafford.
On the other side of the front line, despite losing 0-3 to Tottenham on the opening day, Burnley quickly revived the team with two consecutive victories against Sunderland and Derby County (League Cup).
Manager Scott Parker took positives from the midweek result, particularly highlighting how he took advantage of the excellent opportunity to give his reserves and new signings a taste of the action.
Burnley's goal is still to stay in the league, after being relegated and promoted in the last 4 seasons. So they try to cherish every point.
Traveling to Old Trafford, Parker and his team were not hesitant at all, because they only lost 4/9 of their most recent visits to the "devil's den".
However, being pushed into a corner may push MU to rise strongly to win the first 3 points at home.
Asian ratio: MU handicap 1 1/4 (0: 1 1/4) - TX: 2 3/4
