Manchester United faces Burnley in the Premier League later today. Here is how to watch the game, TV channel, live stream details, highlights, and early team news.
Managerless (or head coach-less) Manchester United will take on Burnley in the Premier League in the first game of the post-Ruben Amorim era after the Portuguese was fired earlier this week.
Leaving after around 18 months in charge, Amorim seemed keen to leave after the draw with Leeds United, where he took aim at those working above him. A day later, he was relieved of his duties with U18s coach and former midfielder Darren Fletcher taking over on a temporary basis.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be set to make a return to Old Trafford while Oliver Glasner and Thomas Tuchel have both been linked with moves to take the job on a permanent basis in the summer.

"They should be back in the squad, but they’ll be on managed minutes as well, restricted minutes because obviously they’ve just returned to training.
"That’s good news, especially the fact that they’ve been in good form. Mason Mount’s form has been fantastic and we don’t have to speak about Bruno.
"He’s the captain, he’s the leader of the team so to have them available for selection is great news for me and for the players and for the club and for the fans."
Central defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire have been out of action recently due to injury, as has midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, whose opportunities under Amorim were limited.
