Manchester United need to change something to pick up a first win in four at Burnley and supporters have decided Sofyan Amrabat should get his debut.
Wednesday's 4-3 Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich was United's third in a row, with a strong opening 25 minutes wiped out by the concession of two soft goals. It's been a familiar pattern of play for Erik ten Hag's side, who are already in 'must win' territory.
Ten Hag said on Friday that he will leave it late regarding a decision on the fitness of four first-team players. One of those is Amrabat, and fans have backed the Moroccan international to be passed fit for a first appearance.

Midfield has been a constant issue in the early weeks of the season, and Amrabat is hoped to bring another level of protection for Casemiro. The Brazilian veteran has struggled thus far but will benefit from extra defensive legs.
Mason Mount is also among the quartet being assessed but fans have opted to leave the summer signing on the bench, with Bruno Fernandes retaining his role as creator-in-chief despite a poor individual performance at the Allianz Arena. Ten Hag discussed the possibility of moving Mount to the right during the week, but supporters have opted to give Facundo Pellistri another chance.
Right wing is arguably the only position in the front three that is up for grabs, with Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford nailed upfront and on the left respectively. Hojlund netted his first goal for United in midweek and has been a rare positive during an otherwise disappointing start to the season.
Another bright spark has been Sergio
