Manchester United is hoping to win nine out of nine wins under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the Burnley home at Old Trafford tonight.
Six victories in the Premier League and Friday night's FA Cup win at Arsenal allowed the club's legend to make a perfect start in the United dugout.

James Robson at Old Trafford
Solskjaer has spoken well of the Brazilian ahead of the game and there is a feeling that United has never been seen close enough to him.
The decision to appoint Lukaku in the absence of the injured martial is interesting.
I guess Rashford will play on the left, with Lukaku in the middle. There was however the opportunity to play Sanchez on the left and keep Rashford in the center.

Fellaini has shared opinions since his transfer from Everton in 2007 for £ 27.5 million.
But he also became a cult figure among the layers of the crowd and was appreciated by David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Mourinho.
He made 106 appearances for United – 22 goals.
He also won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League at Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking for nine wins in a row as Manchester United's interim manager.
Few would have predicted such an immediate change of fortunes for United, but in Solskjaer, the Red Devils play attractively, attacking football and picking up points.
It will last? The next test is against Burnley, and it is unlikely that the Clarets let United get caught at the counter …
