We have got an interesting game to look forward to this Wednesday night as Manchester United make the short trip to Burnley.

The Red Devils made the surprising decision to sack Ruben Amorim two days ago, leaving former midfielder Darren Fletcher in charge for the game and tasked with getting a positive result against a Burnley side that are sitting second bottom of the table.

Burnley vs Manchester United Tips

Here are our top three football betting tips and the best ahead of Wednesday's Premier League clash.

Tip 1: Manchester United to win and both teams to score

The sacking of Ruben Amorim has created a massive amount of uncertainty going into this game now. Darren Fletcher is taking over, and he could make changes if he believes it’s the right thing to do.

One thing we do know is that it’s unlikely that United will suddenly become world beaters in the space of a couple of days under Fletcher. Bruno Fernandes is still likely to be missing with his hamstring injury, and they still have players missing due to AFCON.

Now they must take on a Burnley team who are struggling to get points on the board as well. In their last seven games they have had two draws and five defeats.

They are now six points behind 17th place in the table and it’s hard to see where the points can come from given their lack of goals. Only Wolves and West Ham have conceded more goals than them as well and therefore have the perfect recipe for defeat.

Although United have struggled with players missing, they should have enough to get a win here. The sacking of Amorim should spark a fresh impetus into the players and help to get a positive result against a poor Burnley.

Tip 2: Matheus Cunha to score anytime

Cunha has had a quiet start to life at Manchester United but should be an attacking threat in this game. He has scored four goals in the 17 games that he has played a part in and scored just a couple of days ago against Leeds.

He has had the most shots for Manchester United so far this season and only Bryan Mbeumo has had more shots on target.

With Mbeumo at AFCON, Cunha should get plenty of chances to get another goal here.

Tip 3: Armando Broja 1+ shot on target, Kyle Walker to be shown a card, Matheus Cunha to score anytime

Broja has started the last three games for Burnley and provides a physical threat. The Albanian centre forward has had 12 shots this season with six of them hitting the target. He should get a couple of opportunities in this game.

Kyle Walker is a yellow card waiting to happen these days. The former Manchester City defender has been booked seven times this season. He has also been booked in the last two games that he has played. Expect another one to come here.

Finally add Chuna to score anytime. He has had the most shots for United this season and scored in their last game away to Leeds United last Sunday.
