Nemanja Matic returns to the starting lineup for Manchester United as Jose Mourinho prepares for the visit to Turf Moor to face Burnley.

Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are the chosen centre-back pairing for the Saturday fixture, with Nemanja Matic also returning to the starting lineup to partner Paul Pogba in midfield.

Upfront, Marcus Rashford is on the bench with Anthony Martial fit enough to start. The interesting part is Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s continued ouster from the entire matchday squad, which does point towards the impending deal between Arsenal and Manchester United.
