In the era without Ruben Amorim, a leading English media outlet analyzes Manchester United's starting eleven ahead of their Premier League 2025-26 away match at Burnley tonight.
On 7 Jan 2026 GMT+7, an analysis was made of the starting eleven of the 'Red Devils' Manchester United, a prominent English Premier League team that recently dismissed Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim on Monday and appointed Darren Fletcher as interim coach before their away game against Burnley, known as 'The Clarets,' in tonight's Premier League 2025-26 match.
It is believed that interim coach Darren Fletcher will mainly change the formation by returning to a back four instead of a back three. Some starting players will be changed tonight due to injuries or participation in the African Cup of Nations. The expected formation for the visit to Turf Moor tonight is 4-2-3-1.
Currently, Manchester United sits in 6th place in the table with 31 points from 20 matches, trailing 4th-placed Liverpool—the Champions League qualification spot—by just 3 points. Here is the analysis and predicted starting eleven for the Old Trafford giants from the perspective of Manchester Evening News.
Senna Lammens (GK) - Diogo Dalot, Aiden Heaven, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw - Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro - Patrick Dorgu, Joshua Sergi, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko.
