Goal Scorer:
Manchester United
Erik ten Hag will thank his stars that he does not have a new injury concern hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. Against Burnley on Saturday, the Manchester United manager will be bereft of the services of ten first-team players.
The Dutchman is sweating over the fitness of Marcus Rashford and Willy Kambwala. However, neither player might be fit enough to be in the matchday squad. Meanwhile, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, and Anthony Martial remain on the sidelines.
Andre Onana will take his usual spot between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him against Burnley. The backline should feature Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Harry Maguire, and Diogo Dalot.
As for the midfield unit, Scott McTominay should return to the starting eleven to pair up with Kobbie Mainoo in the double pivot in the middle of the park. Bruno Fernandes will reprise his usual no. 10 role, while Amad Diallo will likely get a rare start. Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund will complete the numbers in the final third.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, McTominay; Amad, Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Burnley
Unlike his counterpart in the Manchester United dugout, Vincent Kompany has greeted a positive update on the team news front ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. The Burnley manager will be without five first-team players on Saturday.
Lyle Foster is fit and available to take on Manchester United after shrugging off a knock. However, Ameen Al-Dakhil (unspecified), Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Aaron Ramsey (knee), Nathan Redmond (thigh), and Luca Koleosho (knee) remain on the sidelines.
Burnley will line up in a 4-4-2 formation against Manchester United, with Arijanet Muric taking his spot between the sticks. Lorenz Assignon, Dara O’Shea, Maxime Esteve, and Charlie Taylor should form the backline.
As for the midfield unit, Josh Cullen and Sander Berge should pair up in the central areas, with Vitinho and Jacob Bruun Larsen being the two wide attackers. Finally, the fit-again Lyle Foster and Wilson Odobert should be the two strikers.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Muric; Assignon, O’Shea, Esteve, Taylor; Vitinho, Cullen, Berge, Larsen; Foster, Odobert
Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Burnley
