Manchester United vs Burnley Current League Standings

As gameweek three approaches, it’s Burnley who surprisingly sit higher in the table. While still early days, the sight won’t please Manchester United supporters, with all the pressure now on manager Ruben Amorim. After opening with a defeat to Arsenal and a draw at Fulham, United find themselves down in 16th with just a single point. Burnley, meanwhile, have taken one win and one defeat from their first two fixtures, leaving them in 11th place on three points.

Manchester United vs Burnley Head-to-Head Timeline

If Manchester United can take encouragement from anywhere, it’s in their head-to-head record with Burnley. The Clarets haven’t beaten them since a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford back in 2020, with the fixture largely dominated by United ever since.

Manchester United Last 5 Matches:

Fulham 1-1 Man Utd

Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal

Man Utd 1-1 Fiorentina (W on Pens)

Man Utd 2-2 Everton

Man Utd 4-1 Bournemouth

Manchester United head into this fixture winless in four, if you discount the penalty shoot-out victory over Fiorentina in pre-season. More importantly, they remain without a win in the Premier League — the competition where Ruben Amorim’s tenure is being most closely judged. Across their last five matches in all competitions, United have managed two wins, two draws and one defeat, a return that urgently needs improving.

Burnley Last 5 Matches:

Burnley 2-1 Derby

Burnley 2-0 Sunderland

Tottenham 3-0 Burnley

Burnley 0-1 Lazio

Stoke 1-0 Burnley

Burnley’s return to the Premier League has started brightly under Scott Parker. Despite a mixed pre-season, they’ve already recorded two wins alongside an opening-day defeat to Tottenham. Progression to the third round of the Carabao Cup, thanks to a 2-1 victory over Derby on Tuesday night, has further boosted confidence — and they’ll head to Old Trafford believing they can take the game to Manchester United.

**Key Players to Watch: Manchester United vs Burnley **

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

The captain remains United’s creative heartbeat. His vision and passing range will be key to unlocking Burnley’s defensive shape, especially against a side that may sit deep at Old Trafford.

Matheus Cunha (Manchester United)

Leading the attack, Cunha’s ability to link play and press from the front will be vital. If he can take chances when they come, he could be the difference-maker.

Hannibal Mejbri (Burnley)

Up against his former club, the midfielder will be eager to impress. His energy and ball-winning ability in the middle of the park could disrupt United’s rhythm.

Lyle Foster (Burnley)

As Burnley’s main forward threat, Foster’s movement and finishing will be crucial. If chances fall his way, he’ll need to be clinical to punish United’s defence.
