Manchester United will be hoping to redeem themselves after their midweek exit in the Carabao Cup to League Two side Grimsby Town. Ruben Amorim is under increasing pressure after United’s winless start to the campaign and come up against one of the Premier League relegation favourites in Burnley on Saturday.

United are back at Old Trafford for the first time since their opening day defeat to Arsenal and while the signs were positive at the beginning of August, there is yet more scrutiny on the Portuguese’s side. The Clarets pose the final opportunity for the club to pick up their first win of the season before the Premier League campaign gets put on hold for the international break.

Scott Parker’s side bounced back from their opening day defeat against Tottenham Hotspur with an impressive 2-0 win over Sunderland last time out.

While United came from two goals down to take their second round tie against the lower league club to penalties, the manner of the defeat has led to fresh criticism – adding emphasis on Saturday’s showdown with Burnley.

Here, the MEN takes a look at the TV info needed for the Premier League clash between Man United and Burnley.
