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.

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

    Would I be right in suggesting this game could go the way of the Chelsea/Leicester game?

    ManYoo's quality will shine through & end up 1/2-0?

        Sorry to bother you but just noticed my score for week 1 is wrong in your dead team challenge, its listed as 55 but i got 77,

        It had previously been right after week 1 but its wrong now in the week by week section.

        I don't know was if I penalised for something or is it just a mistake on your part.

    If LVG wants to play longball he might aswell get Zigic and Crouch.

    People talkin bout LVG dobnt know sh*# about football. It's so easy to write down comments behind a screen.. What do you guys know about coaching? It's only his 3rd Game.. These same people will praise him when MU starts winning again..

      Well the least he needs to do is get them winning games again. Will he get them winning things again is another story. I don't think so personally but it's not his fault. Blame Dame Alex and his obsession on getting the title back from City. He set them back a few yrs, compared to the other big 2
