Burnley vs Man Utd live: Team news and line-ups from Premier League clash
Jan 07 2026 18:16 · By Chris Wilson · 63 Reads
Manchester United travel to Burnley this evening for the first Premier League match of the post- Ruben Amorim era after the Portuguese manager was sacked on Monday.
Amorim left the club following tensions behind the scenes and the United hierarchy are now looking at hiring an interim manager until the end of the season. Under 18s head coach, Darren Fletcher , has been put in charge of the first team for the time being and leads from the dugout at Turf Moor tonight.
The Red Devils come into the fixture sitting sixth in the table but they are only three points away from the top four and, depending on other results, could head into the weekend sitting in the Champions League spots should they collect all three points against Burnley.
The Clarets meanwhile are struggling down in 19th and have gone 11 matches without a win . They have collected just two points during that run with draws against Bournemouth and Everton prompting manager Scott Parker to label their previous outing as a “powderpuff” display.
