Burnley vs Man Utd live: Premier League team news and line-ups as Darren Fletcher takes charge of first match – UK Times

Manchester United could be bolstered by the returns of Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount to the matchday squad. The system utilised by interim manager Darren Fletcher may be of interest, too, after Ruben Amorim’s recent move away from the wing-back system he had favoured.

Burnley hope to have Maxime Esteve back available after the defender missed the defeat to Brighton. Scott Parker remains without a chunk of his first-choice side, though.

Hello and welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of tonight’s Premier League match between Manchester United and Burnley at Turf Moor.

United start life after Ruben Amorim with a midweek Premier League trip to take on the Clarets, who sit in 19th in the table.

The Old Trafford club parted ways with Amorim on Monday morning after an apparent falling out between the Portuguese manager and the hierarchy, with former midfielder Darren Fletcher placed in interim charge.

The visitors sit sixth in the league table and just three points behind Liverpool in fourth, though could equally slip back down the table should their inconsistent form continue.

In more desperate needs of points, though, are Scott Parker’s hosts, with Burnley already some distance from safety and without a win in their last 11 Premier League games.
