Man United vs Burnley: Premier League preview
100 points. 16 goals conceded in 46 matches. Burnley's promotion from the Championship last season was unusual. Scott Parker locked it down and it worked. This season, we'll find out what they really have in their locker.
The gap between the Premier League and the Championship is said to be widening, largely on the basis that the last six teams to come up went straight back down.
Burnley are one of them. They're also one of the current trio who've all won a game months earlier than their 2024-25 counterparts.
Burnley's win came against Sunderland last weekend, seven days after the Black Cats turned over West Ham United. It's all very encouraging for the neutral and Parker will be desperate to parlay that win into a few more.
His team backed up their first win of the season with a dramatic League Cup victory over Derby County in midweek, avoiding the fate that befell Amorim and United at Blundell Park.
If the head coach is hanging by a thread on the basis of results, the sight of him taking solitary shelter as the rain lashed the dugout roof at Grimsby won't help his cause. Seemingly blaming his players in public before the end of August isn't going to help much either.
United haven't yet won a game this season. They looked quite sharp against Arsenal in their opening match but lost. Last weekend, Emile Smith Rowe's equaliser at Craven Cottage meant they had to settle for a point.
With just a few days left in the summer transfer window, United still have a so-called 'bomb squad' and some shortcomings on the pitch that they'd do well to address.
Bryan Mbeumo scored his first United goal against Grimsby. The Cameroonian and Matheus Cunha both cost a pretty penny but should prove their worth. Benjamin Sesko has a huge responsibility to spearhead an expensive new attack.
But United's goalkeepers, defence and midfield haven't had anything like the reparatory work they needed after a dreadful season. It's already showing and Burnley will fancy themselves to exploit it.
