The Premier League returns to Old Trafford on Saturday as Manchester United host Burnley in what already feels like a crucial early-season fixture. United come into this game under mounting pressure after a disastrous Carabao Cup exit to League Two Grimsby in midweek, a defeat manager Ruben Amorim described as his team being “completely lost.” It was their first ever loss to a fourth-tier side, and it has only deepened the sense of crisis after a winless start in the league.
In two league games so far United have collected a solitary point, drawing 1-1 with Fulham and losing at home to Arsenal. Their underlying data highlights the struggles: an xPTS total of 1.96, bottom five in the division, and a 40.6% expected goals ratio. They have averaged seven shots on target per game but with poor chance quality, creating only two big chances while conceding three. Their defensive solidity has also been undermined by uncertainty in goal, with Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir both criticised.
