Jose Mourinho expecting "tough" Burnley test

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has said that he is expecting a "tough" match against Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils will look to bounce back from last weekend's 4-0 defeat at Chelsea when they welcome a Burnley side that have lost all three of their Premier League away games this season.

Mourinho, however, has insisted that his team will need to be at their best to overcome Sean Dyche's outfit during what has been a busy period of games for the 20-time English champions.

"Burnley is the same Burnley. It is the same manager, basically the same players, same philosophy, same profile of team and same mentality," Mourinho told reporters.

"We know it will be tough for us, especially because we come in with a run of five matches with two days in between. Finally we will have a Sunday off and a little bit of time until the Fenerbahce match!"

Man United have only won one of their last six in the league, with that run of form leaving them seventh in the table.
