Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Burnley Vs Man United

Gameweek 3 gets underway with a lunchtime encounter between Burnley and troubled United. Having lost their first two matches, the Clarets are desperate to get points on the board and will certainly be buoyed by the current form of today’s opponents, as Louis van Gaal’s side stumble from one poor result to another.

With Angel di Maria poised to make his debut for the visitors, though, Fantasy owners of United’s attackers have a renewed sense of optimism for the Turf Moor meet. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie are all more than capable of delivering in emphatic fashion and could be set to benefit from the Argentine’s arrival.

Following this one, we have five matches to savour at 3pm before Everton host Chelsea in the evening kick-off at Goodison.

    Early Burnley goal would be interesting.

    I saved my FT this week, captained Rooney, played four at the back and Begovic in goal, did not respond to the bandwagons of Sigurdsson, Lamela and Adebayor, and also benched Costa.

    Weird week to expect for me.

    Good lord, Burnley have spent $75 Million on players since formation in 1882, United spent $99 Million this week 🙂

      Who'd have thought the UK transfer record would play his first game at Turf Moor 😛
