Burnley manager Sean Dyche has admitted that he is concerned about the possibility of being the victim of a backlash from Manchester United on Saturday.

United's latest disappointment arrived on Tuesday as Louis van Gaal's side suffered a surprise 4-0 defeat to MK Dons in the Capital One Cup, but Dyche is fully aware of the challenge which awaits his players at Turf Moor.

"There is a bit of a hoo-ha about Manchester United at the moment," the Burnley boss told reporters after seeing his side lose 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday. "I don't see it like that. I look at the players they have got, the manager they have got, the club they are.

"I'm not thinking they are going to come here and, by some miracle, not be strong. They will certainly be strong."

Burnley have picked up one point from their opening two Premier League games.
