Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay return, but Edinson Cavani has dropped to the bench, as Manchester United prepare to face Burnley at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made a number of changes to the side that started in the 2-0 win over Granada in the UEFA Europa League earlier this week, as Manchester United get set to play hosts to Burnley at Old Trafford.

The first shuffle comes in goal, where Dean Henderson replaces David de Gea, as has become the custom in the Premier League in recent weeks. The defensive line sees a couple of changes as well, with Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire returning after missing the midweek fixture due to suspension. Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, though, retain their spots in the back four.

Up ahead in midfield, Scott McTominay returns to the starting lineup, just like Maguire and Shaw, lining up alongside Fred in the double pivot. Meanwhile, there is no replacing Bruno Fernandes, with the Manchester United talisman continuing to reprise the no. 10 role.

The final change comes in attack, with Marcus Rashford deemed fit enough to start. The English forward comes in for Edinson Cavani, meaning Mason Greenwood is set to lead the line for Manchester United against Burnley. Paul Pogba is the final name on the team sheet, with the Frenchman starting on the left wing again.

Manchester United Starting Lineup: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Pogba, Greenwood
