"Manchester United's post-Ruben Amorim era officially begins on Wednesday evening, when the Red Devils travel to Turf Moor to face relegation-threatened Burnley. Amorim was dismissed on Monday following a turbulent period at Old Trafford, with Darren Fletcher appointed interim head coach ahead of gameweek 21. Burnley enter Wednesday's contest off the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Brighton, a result that extended their winless Premier League run to 11 matches."
"With just 12 points collected from 20 matches, Burnley sit 19th in the Premier League table, six points adrift of safety. Their situation could worsen further depending on results elsewhere, with fellow strugglers also in action during the midweek round of fixtures. Earlier this season, Burnley were narrowly beaten 3-2 at Old Trafford, where Bruno Fernandes struck a 97th-minute penalty to secure all three points for United, and the Portuguese midfielder could return to action here."
Ruben Amorim was dismissed on Monday and Darren Fletcher was appointed interim head coach ahead of Manchester United's trip to Turf Moor. Burnley have failed to win in 11 Premier League matches, losing nine of their past 11 and sitting 19th with 12 points from 20 games, six points from safety. Burnley last won in October with consecutive victories over Leeds and Wolves. Earlier this season Burnley lost 3-2 at Old Trafford after Bruno Fernandes converted a 97th-minute penalty. United remain sixth, level with Chelsea and three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, keeping Champions League qualification within reach. Fletcher is expected to take charge for the FA Cup tie with Brighton.
