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

    All 3 British centre bacls made horrendous mistakes in the opening minutes. We've got Paul Parker (ex United and England CB to you whipper-snappers) as pundit over here saying, frankly, British footballers, be they the 3 here or Ferdy, Hill and Dunn at QPR are too thick to play this system. Sorry, but he's right.

    Too be able to play 3 at the back, the defenders need to be really comfortable on the ball and understand space.

    LVG came into united and tried to pick a system where he could accomodate RVP, Rooney & Mata, which he has, but to the detriment of the rest of the team.

    They should switch back to 442
