Manchester United and manager Ruben Amorim had a miserable week building up to the visit of Burnley.

After a 1-1 draw at Fulham the previous Sunday, United veered into embarrassment territory with an EFL Cup defeat at Grimsby Town.

United were outplayed by the League Two side for much of the game before eventually taking the second-round tie to spot-kicks, with Bryan Mbeumo’s miss decisive.

Burnley arrived in confident mood after beating fellow Premier League newcomers Sunderland 2-0 at home the previous Saturday and second-tier Derby County at Turf Moor in the EFL Cup.
