Manchester United vs Burnley

Bruno Fernandes’ penalty, timed at 96:10, was Manchester United’s fourth-latest winning goal on Opta’s records in the Premier League (from 2006-07), and second-latest at home, after Scott McTominay against Brentford in October 2023 (96:11).

Manchester United became the first side ever to see both of their first two goals of a Premier League season be own goals. Indeed, they have benefitted from as many own goals in the Premier League this season (2) as they did in 2023-24 (0) and 2024-25 (2) combined.

50% of Manchester United’s wins in the Premier League under Ruben Amorim have come against newly promoted opponents (4/8); among managers with 8+ wins in the competition, this is the joint-highest percentage to come against promoted sides (Jesse Marsch also 50%, 4/8). At Old Trafford, Amorim’s ratio rises to 60% (3/5).

Manchester United have lost just one of their last 25 home games against Burnley in all competitions (W15 D9), going down 2-0 in January 2020.

Of all teams to have visited Manchester United at least eight times in the Premier League, Burnley are one of three teams to have avoided defeat in more than half (P9 W1 D4 L4), along with Chelsea and Manchester City.

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 23 Premier League games against promoted sides (W20 D3), since a 4-1 loss at Watford in November 2021.

Burnley won 2-0 against Sunderland in their last Premier League match, ending a run of four consecutive defeats in the competition. The Clarets have not won consecutive games since April 2022, while manager Scott Parker last did so in April 2019 when he was Fulham.
