I think last season Uniteds first 3 away games were Portsmouth (bogey team),Liverpool and Chelsea followed by Arsenal,Man City and Aston Villa not too far after.....so not always so easy.
At home,though,the last two seasons they have been held by both Reading and Newcastle,in the first match,who went on to be relegated,so if Birmingham get a draw it looks like curtains for them !
Burnley,a very tough start but maybe sometimes better to play the bigger teams before the league starts to settle down.United are notoriously slow starters so you never know....Burnley might pick up a point to add to their victories against Stoke and Everton !
Sorry 747,couldnt resist !
