hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. manchester united look to put stuttering performances behind them — they take on burnley , in the sole premier league game tonight. who can stop their rivals manchester city. they finish the year top, will anyone be able to catch them in 2022. and things go from bad to worse, for england head coach chris silverwood. he's forced to isolate, and miss the 4th ashes test in sydney. hello and welcome to the programme. they might be unbeaten under their interim boss ralf rangnick. but manchester united are far from inspiring at the moment like tonight's opponents burnley, they've been hit by much disruption due to covid. but tonight's match at old trafford could see them move back up the table, against a side struggling in the relegation zone. i spoke to our reporter simon stone, who's at the game later — and he told me united's tactics and ideas under rangnick are yet to bed in... there is a bit of head scratching going on about what he's brought to the table giving there's been a couple of unconvincing victories against crystal palace fc and norwich city and a difficult draw against the champions league but it did not really matter because they were already through and their big break in fixtures due to a couple of postponements because of covid—19 and then that very disappointing performance against newcastle on the 27th of december. so, i think people are still trying to work out what his style of play will be and what improvements if any he's going to bring to manchester united. there are a lot of issues with manchester united. and there are now, they have not gone away just united. and there are now, they have not gone awayjust because the man at the top has departed. what not gone awayjust because the man at the top has departed.— at the top has departed. what is a realistic aim _ at the top has departed. what is a realistic aim for _ at the top has departed. what is a realistic aim for the _ at the top has departed. what is a realistic aim for the club _ at the top has departed. what is a realistic aim for the club towards i realistic aim for the club towards the end of the season?
