Burnley vs Manchester United: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match
Manchester United begin life after Ruben Amorim when they make the short trip to fellow Lancashire club Burnley on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils sacked the Portuguese on Monday following a bizarre post-Leeds United press conference, where he fiercely stated that he would be the manager of United, not just the head coach.
As Enzo Maresca also found out, it is ill-advised to go head-on against your bosses in public and therefore the axe was wielded. Whether Amorim knew what he was doing remains to be seen, but now it is up to former long-serving player Darren Fletcher to build some stability.
Burnley, on the other hand, look as though they are heading for instant relegation to the Championship after another hapless loss to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon. The Clarets are six points adrift of safety and without a win since mid-October.

Burnley vs. Manchester United: What are the managers saying?
Scott Parker, Burnley
(Via Burnley)
"Well, look, I suppose nothing really surprises you in football (Amorim's sacking), really, so, of course, it changes our preparation a little bit now in terms of what we're up against, what we could be up against.
"We prep for both scenarios in that, and we've done a lot of work over the last 24 hours to try and navigate around how things could look for them.
"Full focus has been on us really and what we need to do preparation-wise to prepare for a brilliant game for us, certainly out of the weekend and hopefully that's what we'll do."

"Hopefully it looks like a Manchester United team that represents a bit of me - a team that fans can be proud of and I can be proud of. We've got good players who care and a lot of quality and I hope to give them a platform to show that. It's their season, their careers, their opportunity. I'm here to help them."
Burnley vs. Manchester United prediction
While the Red Devils should dispose of opponents like Burnley with relative ease, they have struggled for wins of late, with a host of key players away at AFCON or on the treatment table.
The key factor will be whether Bruno Fernandes is fit to play, but Scott Parker will be hopeful that his side can match Wolves and Leeds United and secure at least a point on home soil.
Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Manchester United
