Erik ten Hag did it twice in a night. Neither was cause for celebration. When Serge Gnabry scored Bayern Munich\u2019s second goal, it was the first time since Ferguson\u2019s team of 2001 that United had conceded twice in five successive games. When Mathys Tel added a late fourth, it meant the class of 2023 became the second United side to let in four goals in a Champions League game: the first was Ferguson\u2019s 1994 group, when eviscerated by Johan Cruyff\u2019s Barcelona \u2018Dream Team\u2019.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Erik ten Hag\u2019s side have conceded twice in five successive games for the first time in 22 years<\/p>\n There is some very surprising news from Manchester United, with 35-year-old Jonny Evans named in the starting line-up.<\/p>\n He is not the only surprise however, with Hannibal Mejbri and Scott McTominay also selected by Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n There is no place in the squad for Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez or Mason Mount.<\/p>\n Sofyan Amrabat is on the bench and could make his debut.<\/p>\n Burnley make one change with Aaron Ramsey starting in place of Lyle Foster who was sent off against Nottingham Forest on Monday night.<\/p>\n Jadon Sancho is seemingly been frozen out at Manchester United after he took to social media to claim he has been made a \u201cscapegoat\u201d for poor results.<\/p>\n It leaves his future in doubt and if he was to leave, it would see him become the latest big-money flop to grace the Old Trafford turf in recent years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Red Devils have spent big cash on players that have not performed at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Erik ten Hag admits he is at a loss to explain Manchester United\u2019s poor defensive performances.<\/p>\n The Red Devils have conceded 14 goals in their last five games and 10 in the last three, with three goals against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday not enough even to earn them a point.<\/p>\n United boss Ten Hag said: \u201cWe have shown that we can do it because last year we had the most clean sheets in the Premier League because of the team, because we defended very good as a team, so we have to get back to that standard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Red Devils have conceded 10 goals in their last three games.<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s late kick off sees two teams desperately in need of a win clash at Turf Moor as Burnley host Manchester United in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Vincent Komany\u2019s Clarets have endured a difficult return to the top-flight with three losses from their opening four games though they did manage to hold on for a draw against Nottingham Forest last time out.<\/p>\n United, meanwhile, have lost three matches in a row following their predictable 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday. Erik ten Hag is dealing up a growing list of injuries to his first team squad and will see today\u2019s encounter as the chance to change the fortunes of his team.<\/p>\n The Red Devils are already eight points behind league leaders Manchester City and need to put together a run of positive results to propel them up the table.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know ahead of tonight\u2019s Premier League clash.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everything you need to know about the Premier League clash <\/p>\nBurnley v Manchester United<\/h3>\n
