Our confirmed MUFC XI vs Burnley is now in, with the Red Devils looking to make it back-to-back league wins.
Manchester United Football Club are looking to find some good form to close out the season. It has been a turbulent campaign for Erik ten Hag, who could still lose his job when the term ends.
Before then, though, United have a handful of games left to play. Finding some confidence in these remaining league fixtures would be ideal, with a huge FA Cup final against Manchester City now peering over the horizon.
Next up today, Burnley visit the Theatre of Dreams. Vincent Kompany’s men are fighting for their lives, so we should expect a spirited performance from The Clarets here. As a result, the Reds will have to be on their A-game from the first minute.
The squad is still decimated by injury, though Mason Mount does indeed return. Sofyan Amrabat also takes his place on the bench. It is still a make-shift United defence, though, so anything can happen. Anyway, let’s give you the full run down of the team.

Andre Onana made a crucial mistake in midweek so let’s hope the fans get behind him here and we see an improved performance.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot start in the full-back slots. They keep chopping and changing so it’ll be intriguing to see who lines up where here. Casemiro does start at centre-back which is now becoming a trend, with Harry Maguire sitting in alongside him.
Christian Eriksen is handed back-to-back league starts for the first time in a while, with Kobbie Mainoo adding the energy to the midfield. Bruno Fernandes (broken hand and all) will play in the #10 spot.
Rasmus Hojlund leads the line fresh off his goal against Sheffield United, with Antony and Alejandro Garnacho on his right and left respectively.
Come on lads!
