A series of shaky results sees Manchester United hoping to hit a more dominant stride at home to Burnley. Watch live on Fubo in Canada.
Erik ten Hag will hope Manchester United can end its recent streak of doing things the hard way when the Red Devils host a Burnley outfit striving to escape the Premier League’s relegation zone on Saturday. Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany takes the Clarets to familiar territory, where a win could take Burnley to the brink of escaping the bottom three at a desperate stage of the season. United, meanwhile, can’t afford to drop any more points if it’s to maintain its current position in sixth place and secure some form of European soccer for next season after a tumultuous 2023-24 campaign.

The goals continued to flow for Ten Hag’s team on Wednesday, and not necessarily in the direction United would like to see after battling from behind on two occasions to beat Sheffield United 4-2.
Andre Onana’s gaffe gifted the Blades an early lead before Bruno Fernandes’ brace helped turn the ship at Old Trafford, where United is undefeated in its last four outings:
That result came after the Red Devils gave up a three-goal lead before beating Coventry City on penalties to qualify for the FA Cup final.
And that’s without mentioning a injury-time collapse at Chelsea two weeks prior, when United led going past the 90th minute only to concede twice in the dying phases at Stamford Bridge.
Needless to say a lack of impetus at the start and end of recent fixtures has proved problematic for United, which bodes well for a Burnley team coming off one of its best results of the campaign to date.
Kompany and Co waltzed to a 4-1 win at Bramall Lane last Saturday, all but ending Sheffield United’s chances of staying up while injecting some hope in their own survival chances.
Jay Rodriguez and Charlie Taylor are the only surviving members of the Burnley squad who were part of the team that clinched a 2-0 win at Old Trafford back in 2020.
However, equilibrium has since been restored after United won its last three home clashes with the Clarets, not to mention edging Kompany’s side 1-0 at Turf Moor back in September.
