Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Saturday’s Premier League clash with Burnley.
Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag could make two changes to his starting side for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Burnley at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils will enter the contest off the back of a 4-2 success over Sheffield United on Wednesday evening, with Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes (two) and Rasmus Hojlund on the scoresheet.
Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, Marcus Rashford and Willy Kambwala are again all set to be unavailable for selection through injury.
However, there could be a return to the squad for Mason Mount, who has missed the team’s last two matches due to a fitness issue.
Scott McTominay is likely to be recalled in central midfield, with Christian Eriksen dropping to the bench, while Amad Diallo could be handed a start in attack, as Antony again disappointed on Wednesday night.
Casemiro will again be required in the middle of the defence due to the team’s injury problems in that area of the field, while Hojlund will be bidding to add to the 14 goals that he has managed this season.
Ten Hag’s squad is seriously stretched at the moment, and he was able to hand a debut to 18-year-old Ethan Wheatley on Wednesday night.
There are again set to be a number of youngsters involved in the squad on Saturday, with another academy player potentially making their first outing for the Red Devils depending on the circumstances.
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, McTominay; Amad, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
