Man United to Return to the Premier League in Style Against Burnley
5156

Manchester United will travel to Turf Moor this Tuesday evening as Burnley play hosts to one of England’s most struggling sides right now after the Red Devils faced further embarrassment in the FA Cup as they lost to Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.

The defeat was extremely controversial, as Ralf Rangnick’s men led for the majority of the game before Matt Crooks scored one of the most bizarre goals you’re likely to see.

A clear handball happened in the buildup, but the goal was allowed to stand and United would then go on to lose on penalties.

Back in the Premier League, Rangnick's side have been in much better form since their 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester United went on to beat Aston Villa in the FA Cup, but blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 against the Villains just five days later, while they also eased past Brentford with a fantastic performance.

Last time out in the Premier League, Marcus Rashford scored with one of the final kicks of the game against West Ham United in what was one of the results of the season as United won 1-0 to jump into the top four for the first time under Rangnick.

The Red Devils also have a further game in hand over West Ham, however, the two games in hand from Tottenham Hotspur and the one from Arsenal means that United's top four spot is not in their power and it could disappear if they don’t get the win here.

United just need to take their chances. They created amples against West Ham but scored in the final few seconds, and created even more and even missed a penalty against Middlesbrough, only to lose the tie.

If they can do that, things should go smoothly for them here as Paul Pogba also adds more creativity to the side with his return.

Burnley, on the other hand, are at the foot of the table and anything but at least a point in their games right now only rings the alarm bells louder.

They are currently just three points off 17th-placed Norwich City, but following a 0-0 draw with fellow relegation fighters Watford, the Clarets haven't exactly proven their worth recently.

United can’t afford to lose and they should have enough in the tank to get the job done on a side that has won one game all season long.

Forebet predicts Rangnick’s men will continue their winning ways in the Premier League here with a game that sees under 2.5 goals.
