Manchester United are in desperate need of reversing their poor Premier League form and will hope to do so when they face newly-promoted Burnley this weekend.
The Red Devils have dropped to 13th in the table after defeats either side of the international break and are already nine points adrift.
Erik ten Hag’s side were beaten 3-1 by Brighton to make it three defeats from four games in the Premier League.
And the tests continue to get harder for United, who begin their Champions League campaign against Bayern Munich, live on talkSPORT, just three days before facing Burnley.
Vincent Kompany will also be itching to score bragging rights over his former rivals as the Man City legend seeks a big upset.

Burnley vs Man United: What has been said?
Ten Hag was keen to play down United’s mammoth 31-game unbeaten run at Old Trafford coming to an end against Brighton.
He told talkSPORT: “As always, we are disappointed with every game we lose and today it was not necessary to lose because we had our chances and there were really small margins.
“But not on our side, you have to accept that and we have to move forward.
“Keep working hard and stick to the plan, sticking together, that’s important as well, and then it will come, we will turn this.”
