Catch the United vs Burnley Clash Live…
Manchester United is on the hunt for its first win of the season as they face off against the freshly promoted Burnley today, turning the heat up on Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim. Last season, United pulled off such a disappearing act in the Premier League that Harry Houdini would be proud, finishing at 15th. Despite flashy new signings like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, the team’s troubles persist. Error-prone goalkeepers seem to have jelly hands, gifting three out of four conceded goals against Arsenal, Fulham, and Grimsby Town. If United can’t pluck a win here, the international break might just turn into an episode of ‘Survivor: Old Trafford Edition.’ The match kicks off at 3pm BST (7am PT/10am ET) and, while UK fans have to rely on signal smoke, Americans can stream it on Peacock.
United’s lineup looks more injured than a soap opera cast, missing Lisandro Martinez, Noussair Mazrouai, and a host of players possibly starring in their own football transfer drama. Alejandro Garnacho is flirting with a move to Chelsea, Rasmus Hojlund is off on a Napoli adventure, and Antony dreams of Real Betis. As for Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, well, they’re about as wanted as a VHS player in 2023. Burnley’s squad has its shares of boo-boos too, with players like Jordan Beyer and Manuel Benson out, though Axel Tuanzebe might come back to haunt his old mates at United. Meanwhile, Burnley manager Scott Parker cheerily reported that some lads got minutes in their recent Carabao Cup win, probably petitioning to have their shriveled hopes rehydrated.
