Edinson Cavani and David de Gea are among those returning, with Paul Pogba fit to start as Manchester United prepare to take on Burnley at Turf Moor.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made wholesale changes to the side that started in the 1-0 win over Watford in the FA Cup this past weekend as Manchester United get set to lock horns with Burnley at Turf Moor. The first shuffle comes in goal, where David de Gea starts at the expense of Dean Henderson.

As for the defence, Eric Bailly has regained fitness and is set to take his place at the back. Bailly pairs up with captain Harry Maguire at the heart of the Manchester United defence, with Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka being the full-back pairing.

Up ahead in midfield, a key decision sees Solskjaer hand a starting berth to the fit-again Paul Pogba. Nemanja Matic also starts in the double pivot, where he partners Pogba, with Fred and Scott McTominay named on the bench along with Donny van de Beek.

Finally, in attack, Bruno Fernandes reprises his usual no. 10 role, while Edinson Cavani returns from suspension. Cavani leads the line for Manchester United against Burnley, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial seemingly being the two wide men, whereas Mason Greenwood is on the bench.
