Manchester United heads to Turf Moor tonight as they start a new phase under interim head coach Darren Fletcher.
Darren Fletcher steps in after Ruben Amorim’s exit. He shifts from the previous tactical approach to a traditional 4-2-3-1 formation. Fletcher aims to secure the team’s first win of 2026, especially as Burnley is struggling, which is crucial for United’s Champions League ambitions.
Manchester United Team News
Darren Fletcher gets a positive boost with the return of club captain Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount. Fernandes might immediately join the starting lineup to enhance creativity. However, United will miss Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui due to AFCON commitments.
Injury issues continue to affect the defense, with Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Kobbie Mainoo unavailable. Therefore, Ayden Heaven is likely to partner with Lisandro Martinez at center-back. Up front, Matheus Cunha is expected to support Benjamin Sesko. Fletcher encourages his players to “express themselves” in this new system.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup
Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Dalot, Heaven, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Ugarte; Dorgu, Fernandes, Cunha; Sesko
