Jose Mourinho has given some of the key stars some much-needed rest ahead of the Manchester derby in the midweek.

The Portuguese has chosen to rest Marcus Rashford, Michael Carrick and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. While these players have been handed a rest, this could prove to be a chance to impress for both Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial, both of whom are handed starts on Sunday.

As far as Burnley are concerned, as many as three United academy graduates are set to take the field against the Red Devils, with Tom Heaton, Robbie Brady and Michael Keane all in the starting lineup.

All eyes will be on Michael Keane, who has been rigorously linked with a return to Old Trafford of late.
