Manchester United XI vs Burnley: starting line-up, confirmed squad news, latest Premier League injury today

Mason Mount returns to the Manchester United squad for today’s Premier League clash with Burnley.

Erik ten Hag’s side moved past bottom side Sheffield United on Wednesday thanks to two goals from Bruno Fernandes, one from the penalty spot, as their defense continued to creak under the numerous absences of Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans , Raphael Varane and Willy. Kambwala.

That quintet remains ruled out for the visit of another relegation candidate Burnley, meaning Casemiro will continue to deputize alongside Harry Maguire at centre-back.

Mount has played just 432 minutes of Premier League football this season but the Ten Hag have confirmed he is in line to face the Clarets.

However, United have hinted that it will otherwise be the same team that has been selected to face Sheffield United. Rashford missed that game, having been sent off in the win against Coventry City, and is therefore set to be unavailable.

Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw all remain on the sidelines, but Ten Hag is confident the trio will be available soon.
