Burnley vs Manchester United
Turf Moor
Sunday 2nd September
4:00pm

It’s a do or die affair for Jose Mourinho, whatever language he chooses to speak to the lads, they must come through for him on Sunday at Turf Moor.

Manchester United were well destroyed by their easiest opponents by statistics at Old Trafford, Spurs, Mauricio Pochetino’s men beat United by 3-0 with nothing left to be said than the gibberish the Portuguese gaffer went to the press to dish out; Jose Mourinho never admits he’s wrong, we’re getting used to that.

Burnley have crashed out of Europe, they failed to get past Olympiakos over two legs and may well enjoy that because their league form should improve, now they can concentrate on matters that truly matter.

Last weekend they suffered at Fulham, conceding four times, something they aren’t really used to.

Is the third season curse troubling Jose Mourinho already? Burnley won’t be kind to him, but they should hustle hard to get a result here, James Tarkowski was rewarded with a call-up for England, that should inspire him to fight against the devils on Sunday.

Manchester United have won the last two at Turf Moor between these two with the last coming earlier this year, a Jesse Lingard inspired 1-0 win.

It’s a do or die affair for Jose Mourinho, whatever language he chooses to speak to the lads, they must come through for him on Sunday at Turf Moor.

Verdict: Manchester United to win
