Predicted Manchester United XI vs Burnley

Manchester United will seek to return to winning ways when they face Burnley on the road this weekend. The Red Devils have already experienced their worst start since 1992 after back-to-back league defeats and Jose Mourinho is supposedly under pressure to deliver a win at Turf Moor.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Lineup:

David de Gea has had an unfavourable start to the campaign with no clean sheets but he has not been at fault in any of the games. He is certain to start in goal for the fourth straight game.

In defence, Mourinho is very much certain to make changes after leaking three goals for the second straight game. Chris Smalling was the only player who impressed at the heart of the backline and Mourinho may seek to bring in Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo to play alongside him in a three-man central defence.

Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw should keep their positions in the right and left wing-back roles respectively but there could be a change in midfield with Nemanja Matic potentially being dropped to compensate for another attacker. Paul Pogba and Fred should start in the centre of the park ahead of the Serbian, who appeared unprepared after just returning from an injury.

Further forward, Alexis Sanchez should make just his second start of the campaign at Turf Moor and we are fancying him to partner Jesse Lingard in the attack with Romelu Lukaku tasked with the job of leading the line. The Belgian has been guilty of missing clear-cut chances in every league game this term and he needs a better showing this weekend to win over the fans.
