Burnley vs Man Utd head to head
Manchester United won 3-1 at Old Trafford when these clubs met in the reverse fixture a few days after Christmas. That marked a third consecutive win for the Red Devils over the Clarets.
Burnley won 2-0 at Old Trafford to shock United in January 2020, their last points in this fixture. That was their first win over United since 2009 when Robbie Blake scored the only game - that victory remains their last victory against Tuesday's opposition at Turf Moor.

Burnley vs Man Utd score prediction
Manchester United should have the quality to win this game against a club currently propping up the Premier League table. But then that should have been true against Middlesbrough at home on Friday and on so many other occasions this season.
It is clear now that the issues at the club run far deeper than just Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's limitations given that he was sacked more than two months ago and things haven't exactly improved. As long as that remains the case, any opponent will think they have a chance against this United
Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Man Utd
