According to reporter Fredrik A. Filtvedt, Manchester United was defeated by Burnley in a closed friendly match at Carrington on Wednesday.
To prepare for the FA Cup fourth round match against Newport County, Man Utd held a friendly match at Carrington. According to information from reporter Fredrik A. Filtvedt, the Red Devils received a loss. This is the second time Man Utd has had to taste defeat against Vincent Kompany’s team in 6 months in closed friendly matches.
Man Utd lost to Burnley again in practice.
Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw were present in the match and can play football this weekend. A similar situation happened with Casemiro. The 31-year-old midfielder returned to the squad in the match against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month, but did not play.
Because Man Utd has not had an official match schedule recently, some of the Red Devils’ key players have had short vacations with their families.
Jonny Evans, Hannibal Mejbri, Alvaro Fernandez, Scott McTominay, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek and Facundo Pellistri are said to have starred against Burnley.
Burnley are ranked 19th in the Premier League, winning only 3 out of 21 matches. Obviously, with the current situation, they have to work very hard to stay in England’s highest division.
