Burnley Clash With United in Crucial Premier League Encounter
The former manager's tenure at Manchester United has been labeled a notable letdown. By any measure, his performance is notable for all the poor reasons. In the Premier League era, no boss at the club has managed fewer points per game, or achieved a standing as poor as 15th place. Looking deeper into history, you have to revisit Frank O'Farrell in the early seventies to find a manager at the club who was defeated in a greater proportion of games. Moreover, he notoriously secured a place in the team's history by suffering a cup final defeat to Spurs, namely Postecoglou's iteration of Spurs.
Life, though, is not often so straightforward. Despite the scrutiny of his 3-4-2-1 formation, Amorim leaves behind a squad in a much stronger state than that which he took over. Earlier this season, following a defeat of Brighton & Hove Albion, the striker Welbeck relayed that his colleagues were hailing United as the finest opposition they had faced in some time. Their play in a thrilling high-scoring tie with AFC Bournemouth was equally promising and exhilarating.
While it is difficult to contest the dismissal—particularly given it was said to be triggered by his comments about executives with more miserable records—Amorim's downfall was in the end hampered by atrocious fortune. If the absence of key personnel not coincided with the absence of other essential figures, he may still be in the job—possibly thriving.
Fresh Start for United
As a result, the interim boss Fletcher inherits a fairly stable scenario. Star figures like Mason Mount, Fernandes, and Mainoo are back to fitness, while Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo will in the near future be back from the Afcon. Merely sensible husbandry of this gifted group should be adequate to ensure a finish in the European spots and, with it, European competition for next season—most likely in the coveted Champions League.
The Clarets' Daunting Challenge
Vincent Kompany's team, however, won't make things easy. Even with boasting only a dozen points and suffering defeats in three of their most recent five outings, their showings have often been stronger than the results show. Manager Scott Parker will surely have his side pumped up to take the game to opponents who are expected to start an lineup that has not had time to gel, deployed in a setup they have not used for a year or more.
Match begins: 8:15 in the evening GMT.
