Burnley v Manchester United: Premier League Line-ups Confirmed as Bruno Fernandes Makes His Return
Manchester United travels to Burnley this evening. Find all the team updates below…
Darren Fletcher is set to lead Manchester United for the first, and possibly the only, time as they face Burnley.
Fletcher has been promoted from his role as Under-18s coach to oversee the first team until an interim manager is appointed. The goal is to secure a full-time replacement for Ruben Amorim at the conclusion of the season.
Amorim was let go on Monday following a disagreement with United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox.
His last match in charge was a 1-1 stalemate against Leeds on Sunday, which left United in sixth position in the Premier League standings.
It has been a chaotic time at Old Trafford, yet there is a sense of optimism looking ahead.
Burnley, in contrast, finds themselves facing relegation to the Championship unless they can deliver a miraculous string of results.
The Clarets have managed to secure only 12 points from 20 games, and Nottingham Forest’s victory over West Ham last night places them nine points adrift of safety.
