Burnley vs Manchester United: Recommended bets
Burnley have won just one of their last 14 meeting with Manchester United with the Red Devils claiming all three points in each of the last three. This includes a pair of 3-1 victories at Old Trafford in 2021. So, Manchester United to win and both teams to score is 5/2.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored against 121 different clubs in his senior career, adding Burnley to that list in December. He is 11/4 to break the deadlock and 4/5 to net anytime.
Burnley vs Manchester United: Match preview
After a shock FA Cup exit on Friday night, Manchester United's attention turns back to Premier League points.
Last time out, Ralf Rangnick's side were expected to swat aside Championship Middlesbrough, especially when Jadon Sancho opened the scoring in the first half.
This came shortly after Cristiano Ronaldo had missed the target with a penalty for the first time in six years.
That would then prove costly when Boro equalised in the second half and, after Man United missed numerous more chances, it went to penalties.
The first 15 spot-kicks were all converted and, just as it seemed the shootout would never end, Anthony Elanga skied his effort high into the Stretford End.
This saw Manchester United crash out the FA Cup and, unless they win the Champions League, it'll be a fifth successive trophyless campaign.
Now, it's all about making sure they're in next season's Champions League.
17 days ago, Man United beat West Ham 1-0 at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford scoring in the 93rd minute, as they leapfrogged the Hammers into fourth.
Will the Red Devils now make it three league wins in a row for just the third time this season?
Burnley meanwhile were involved in a vitally important relegation six-pointer on Saturday night that proved inconclusive.
The Clarets played out an uneventful goalless draw with Watford at the weekend, in which both created very little chances.
This means Sean Dyche's side remain bottom of the table, three points behind Norwich and safety, having played three games less than the Canaries.
Games in hand are good but now Burnley need points on the board.
Can they beat Manchester United at Turf Moor for the first time since 2009?
Burnley team news vs Manchester United
The most eye-catching piece of Burnley team news at the weekend, obviously, came up front.
Wout Weghorst made his debut after arriving from Wolfsburg while Maxwel Cornet is back having represented Côte d'Ivoire at AFCON.
At times, they showed signs of being a dangerous partnership.
Elsewhere, less good news is that first-choice full-backs, Charlie Taylor and Matt Lowton, are both out so Erik Pieters and Connor Roberts will deputise.
Josh Brownhill could return in midfield after suspension, displacing Dale Stephens.
On the right-wing, Aaron Lennon could keep his place after Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson missed the Watford game due to injury.
Manchester United team news vs Burnley
Ralf Rangnick did name a very strong line-up for Friday night's FA Cup tie, which is what made the defeat to Middlesbrough more surprising.
David de Gea is one of the very few players who was given the night off but will return in place of Dean Henderson.
Alex Telles and Fred will not be involved, given that they returned positive Covid-19 tests on Monday, after both were away with Brazil last week.
In midfield, Paul Pogba made his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury away with France in November against Boro.
The Frenchman could keep his place, alongside Scott McTominay, with Nemanja Matić providing the more defensive option.
Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford will get the nod out-wide with Anthony Elanga on the bench and Mason Greenwood not being considered for selection.
In attack, Cristiano Ronaldo, who celebrated his 37th birthday on Saturday, will lead the line; Edinson Cavani is in contention after international duty.
