Burnley vs Manchester United Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Manchester United to win
- Odds: -136 (Tonybet)
Burnley last defeated Manchester United five years ago, shortly before the COVID-19 lockdown. It’s certainly not the league’s third-worst defence (39 conceded goals) that will change that, especially given that the Clarets have only won three games this season, and injuries have further hindered their progress.
The two teams already faced each other earlier this season, producing a five-goal thriller that favoured Man United at Old Trafford (3-2).
Burnley vs Manchester United Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Matheus Cunha to score
- Odds: +143 (Tonybet)
Cunha scored his fourth Premier League goal last Sunday against Leeds (1-1), in an intense match where both teams created many chances. In the absence of other stars (like Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes), the attacking playmaker will be expected to lead with the Brazilian flair that usually unlocks deep blocks like Burnley’s.
Burnley vs Manchester United Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Manchester United to win + Matheus Cunha to score + under 3.5 goals
- Odds: +450 (Tonybet)Manchester United have drawn their last two games (against Leeds and Wolverhampton) and urgently need a victory despite missing several key players. They can count on Cunha, who proved he can excel in challenging circumstances against Leeds, to change things up.
However, this time, with Burnley likely to sit in a lower block and both sides missing important players, a high-scoring contest appears unlikely.
Burnley vs Manchester United Team News
Burnley Team News
Burnley have won only three times since the season started. The first victory came on opening day, while the remaining two were back in October. By the looks of it, improvement seems unlikely unless serious funds are allocated for the winter transfer market window.
The Clarets lost to Brighton last weekend (0-2) in a performance where the team rarely came close to their opponent’s goal while conceding 15 shots. As a result, coach Scott Parker admitted to a poor defeat, pointing to a lack of belief within his squad.
Injuries have also played a major role in Burnley’s struggles this season, as Josh Cullen and Zeki Amdouni have suffered long-term injuries and are expected to miss much of the season. Maxime Estève, Jordan Beyer, Joe Worrall, and Connor Roberts have also been sidelined.
As a result, Burnley are expected to invest in new signings in the coming weeks. The team rarely struggle to score (thanks to Ziann Flemming and Jaidon Anthony), but they concede far too often.
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United will travel to Turf Moor under interim management after the club sacked head coach Rúben Amorim on Monday. The Portuguese departed following a power struggle with the hierarchy over transfer policy, with Darren Fletcher stepping in for the Burnley clash. The managerial upheaval adds further uncertainty to a squad already depleted by injuries and AFCON call-ups.
Top scorer Bryan Mbeumo, called up by Cameroon, has missed recent fixtures. As a result, the Red Devils have only won once in their last five outings (1-0 vs Newcastle). That victory marked United’s only clean sheet during that span, fueled by a 3-4-3 system that has lacked cohesion, both in and out of possession.
With Bruno Fernandes sidelined due to injury, Amorim had positioned Matheus Cunha as his primary playmaker, while deploying Patrick Dorgu and Joshua Zirkzee in the wings.
Without Fernandes, Casemiro and Ugarte play in a double pivot, but neither of them is known for their technical security or creativity. As a result, Man Utd struggle to defend against counter-attacks.
In addition to Mbeumo, winger Amad Diallo has also been called up for AFCON and will therefore miss the match. Kobbie Mainoo, Matthijs de Ligt, and Harry Maguire are sidelined with injuries, along with Bruno Fernandes.
