Manchester United must bounce back against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday night.
United were defeated 4-3 against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek and although just a single goal was the difference by the final whistle, the scoreline was flattering and the hosts deserved to win.
Erik ten Hag is facing the most challenging period of his tenure at Old Trafford yet and it's important United get back to winning ways against Burnley at Turf Moor after suffering four defeats in six games this season.
