The Dugout Discussion – Burnley Vs Man United

2,600 Comments
Share

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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

            Only 1 point against Utd. Have to be winning those games.

            Still going to be tough for them. Lacking quality in the final third big time, will struggle for goals all season long.

          How many points are people on?

          14 from 3 (4 including captain here) 😀

          Hopefully its a low scoring week.

          Went with my gut and captained Aguero instead of Rooney. The scene is set and I'm feeling good about it
