Man United legend Roy Keane believes the Red Devils will bounce back from their embarrassing loss to Grimsby with a victory against Burnley this weekend.
However, Keane thinks that Ruben Amorim’s side will concede at least one goal on their way to three points:
“No chance that it will be 2-0 to Manchester United. It’ll be 2-1, we’ll give Burnley a goal.”

Man United vs Burnley team news
Noussair Mazraoui is close to returning from a hamstring injury he sustained in pre-season. There is a chance that the Moroccan international will make the bench.
Lisandro Martinez is the Red Devils’ only other absentee. The centre-back is continuing his recovery from the ACL he picked up against Crystal Palace back in February.
Clarets boss Scott Parker has Jordan Beyer (knee), Manuel Benson (Achilles), Connor Roberts (knee) and Zeki Amdouni (ACL) all unavailable for this weekend’s trip to Old Trafford.
Who are the bookies’ favourites to win the game?
As Man United are at home, betting firms are still backing them to secure victory. They are actually odds-on with nearly all bookmakers pricing them at 4/11.
You can currently get odds on a draw between 19/5 and 17/4, while a Burnley win is priced between 13/2 and 8/1. All in all, it seems punters believe that Amorim’s team will get their first three points of the new season despite the abject display against Grimsby.
Of course, not many of the players who started on Wednesday evening will be named in the lineup on Saturday afternoon, and Amorim will be hoping that the changes he makes have the desired effect.
