Ruben Amorim set for major call over Man United XI vs Burnley
We’ll have team news for you in the next hour or so, and it’s a massive call for Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese has to get a reaction today at Old Trafford.
Benjamin Sesko could start, to inject some energy and bring a presence up top.
The Slovenian was a late penalty taker in the midweek shootout, but a start today should offer an immediate chance to showcase just what he can do.

Manchester United set for huge Antony loss after agreeing fee with Real Betis

United will also have a 50 percent sell-on clause but are still set to make a huge loss on Antony, who cost them £85m when he followed former manager Erik ten Hag from Ajax in 2022.
But the 25-year-old’s troubled spell in Manchester is nearing an end, with the Brazilian now travelling to Spain to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms.
