3pm today. Old Trafford. Manchester United. Does it get any bigger than this. After the massive victory in the opening home game of the season this should not hold any fears for a Clarets team with 1 point on the road and a new manager who has seen 9 years at Scunthorpe and got sacked by Sheffield Wednesday.
But lets not be pessimistic. United are stuttering. There is grumbling about all sorts of things inside the club and amongst the fans. The very precarious financial position is clearly starting to affect the team. Berbatov is lazy and disinterested and Rooney is surely only one more unsupported 90 minutes from a blow up. However, United are United and they usually respond positively to situations like this. They may well be in the mood to give someone a bloody good hiding.
