OnS SEO Sports 960x540 FLETCHER TO GUIDE UNITED TO NARROW WIN AT BURNLEY (UK)

Managerless Manchester United travel to Burnley in the Premier League in what is their first game since sacking Ruben Amorim.

Amorim was dismissed after 14 months in charge, with his fiery press conference following a 1-1 draw with Leeds leading the United board to finally make a change. Interim boss Darren Fletcher takes charge of this encounter at Turf Moor while the Red Devils, currently sixth, search for a new permanent manager, with Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner the early favourite.

For now though, attention will be firmly on getting only their second win in their last six games against the relegation-threatened Clarets, who are six points adrift of safety.

Burnley vs Manchester United betting tips, odds and predictions

Matheus Cunha to have two or more shots on target

With Benjamin Sesko out of form and Bryan Mbeumo away at AFCON, Matheus Cunha has become a key part of United's attack and is enjoying some quietly good form, scoring in three of his last five games.

It remains to be seen whether Fletcher will look to switch from Amorim's favoured 3-4-2-1 into a more conventional shape, but we can be pretty confident Cunha will retain his place in the side. After netting in the draw at Leeds, we are backing the Brazilian to test the goalkeeper with at least two shots.

Under 2.5 goals to be scored

Burnley are desperately battling for any points they can get and United will be out of sorts following their manager's dismissal, so a tight game looks to be in order at Turf Moor.

United have not scored more than one goal in any of their last four games and Burnley have managed just two in the same run of fixtures. Backing less than 2.5 goals feels like the way to go for this one as a result.

Casemiro to be shown a card

In the cards market, we are tipping Casemiro to find his way into the referee's book for the eighth time this season, with six yellows and one straight red already this season.

The Brazilian is no stranger to a tough tackle and with the game potentially set to become congested in midfield, he seems the obvious choice for another booking.

Manchester United to win

Despite the chaos at Old Trafford right now, we are backing temporary boss Fletcher to guide the Red Devils to victory, even if it is not pretty at times.

Burnley look destined for the drop having not won a game since October and United should have enough in their armoury to get the job done. A manager change can often inspire an upturn in fortunes, too, so with the shackles released they may well play with more freedom under the former midfielder.
