MATCH PREVIEW: MANCHESTER UNITED V BURNLEY

Clarets head to Manchester to take on the Red Devils

Burnley travel to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon (3pm) as Vincent Kompany’s side take on Manchester United aiming to continue their impressive run of form which has seen the Clarets lose just once in the last seven Premier League fixtures.

The Clarets have taken 10 points from those last seven games with two wins, four draws and just one defeat and Burnley will be looking to add to that points tally this weekend.

Last time out on the road saw the Clarets take all three points at Bramall Lane, with goals coming from Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lorenz Assignon, Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

Kompany’s side will be supported by another sell-out away crowd in Manchester as we prepare for the final four games of the 2023/24 campaign.

Form guide

Burnley head to Manchester in good form having lost just once in their last seven fixtures following wins over Brentford and Sheffield United & draws against West Ham, Chelsea, Wolves and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Last time out, the Clarets ran out deserved winners in a 4-1 victory away from home against the Blades. Goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lorenz Assignon, Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson secured all three points for Kompany’s men.

United head into this weekend after a 4-2 win at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, which saw Erik Ten Hag’s men secure their first victory in the Premier League since 9th March.

The Red Devils were taken to a penalty shoot-out in the Emirates FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Despite leading 3-0 with 20 minutes left to play, United booked their place in the final with Manchester City for the second consecutive season.

What Vincent Kompany said

“Look, it’s a meaningful game for us and has been for many years for me as a player, but this weekend it’s all about Burnley v Manchester United.

“When you play a top team like Manchester United, you have to appreciate the challenge you face, but you must also embrace the challenge and tackle it head on.

“They have some clear strengths within their team with high quality players that can score lots of goals. They’ve had their fair share of struggles with injuries but we just have to focus on us, our game and what we do.

“It (Old Trafford) will always be a place you look forward to going to play at. I think everyone in the league looks forward to playing the top teams away from home and United is one of them.

“For me, the fact I have been there so many times as a player, as a manager now you try use that to your experience, but for my players it’s a game they belong to play in and are looking forward to.”
