Burnley preview: KO time, TV info, team news
Manchester United are in Premier League action again on Wednesday night, facing Burnley at Turf Moor.
Darren Fletcher is taking charge of the team, following the departure of head coach Ruben Amorim on Monday morning, and the Reds are looking to pick up a first three points of 2026, in the wake of the 1-1 draw at Leeds United in our opener to the calendar year.
With the Reds currently in sixth spot in the table, nudged down a spot by Chelsea's injury-time equaliser at Manchester City, there is all to play for.
Check out all the key details on the clash with Scott Parker's men below...

Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo have been out through injury.
Former Red Hannibal was knocked out of AFCON with Tunisia, as was South Africa's Lyle Foster, but another Old Trafford old boy, Axel Tuanzebe is still away in Morocco with DR Congo.

FORM GUIDE
United have only lost one of our last eight games, unluckily away to in-form Aston Villa, but will be striving to turn draws into wins.
The point at Leeds followed the disappointing home game with Wolverhampton Wanderers and dogged 1-0 Boxing Day triumph over Newcastle United.
Burnley have only two points from their previous 11 games but those have come quite recently, with draws away to Bournemouth and at home to Everton.
The Clarets' last victory was the 3-2 success at Wolves on 26 October.
DID YOU KNOW?
Matheus Cunha's equaliser at Elland Road preserved an unbeaten record against newly promoted clubs in the Premier League that now stretches to 26 matches.
We've won 22 of those fixtures, with the last loss coming against Watford in November 2021, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's final game in charge.
