There is little Europa League-led rotation for Manchester United this afternoon as they prepare to face Burnley at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 16:00 GMT.

Edinson Cavani (Β£7.9m) is among the substitutes but you’d be hard-pressed to argue that the Red Devils are anything other than at full strength going into their late-afternoon clash with the Clarets.

Mason Greenwood (Β£7.0m) is preferred to Cavani for the hosts in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s only change to his starting XI from the side that defeated Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 31.

That means that Marcus Rashford (Β£9.5m) is fit to start, with the United winger set to again play through the pain barrier as he continues to manage a niggling foot injury.

Solskjaer said of Rashford’s issue ahead of kick-off:

It has been [game by game].

Yesterday when I spoke to him he said ‘good’. So that’s the first time in a long, long while that he’s not mentioned it, so he should be no problem.

Bruno Fernandes (Β£11.6m) also features, with the mass-captaincy of Spurs assets in Gameweek 32 meaning that his ‘effective ownership’ (EO) is, for once, under the 100% mark at most rank tiers for this clash.

Harry Maguire (Β£5.5m) keeps up his ever-present record and needs to avoid a booking in today’s game in order to swerve a two-game ban for yellow card accumulation.

Sean Dyche makes two changes to hisΒ BurnleyΒ side after the defeat by Newcastle United last weekend.

Charlie Taylor (Β£4.4m) and Jack Cork (Β£5.0m) are both recalled, with Erik Pieters (Β£4.3m) and Matej Vydra (Β£4.8m) benched.

Dwight McNeil (Β£5.7m) has recovered from the knock that rendered him a doubt for this encounter.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope (Β£5.5m) hasn’t passed a fitness test on a shoulder injury, so Bailey Peacock-Farrell (Β£4.0m) is between the posts again.

Paul Pogba (Β£7.6m) was the match-winner when these sides last met in Gameweek 18.

Dyche’s troops are on the longest current run without a clean sheet in the English top flight.

But the Clarets are unbeaten in their last four Premier League encounters at Old Trafford and won this fixture 2-0 last season.


Manchester United XI: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood.

Burnley XI: Peacock-Farrell, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Cork, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Wood.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 32 SO FAR…

    Probably a Cork OG, Greenwood A. But let's see what the PL goals panel say.

    1. Baps Hunter

      Think so too...

      Looked straight at the keeper otherwise.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Doesn’t matter. If it’s on target before the defender’s touch it’s not an OG.

          I know, disagreed with Diesel.

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    I said Lowton not Greenwood!

  3. La Roja

    Greenwood goal

        Nope, shot on target

    Was he in the Differential article?
    Oh yes he was!

      Tom Freeman is the goat

      His picks are eerily good

    Do we think United get 2-3 goals against Leeds next week? Their hole record is pretty solid this calendar year.

    YESSS Mason get in son

      Team Greenwood!

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years

    Bruno >> Son after the blank. Got to endure a horrible 90 on Wednesday now. Regret not moving now

  9. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    If he stays on 3 baps Rashford is only one point behind Mo on the season since GW2. He didn't play GW1 of course.

    That was the move

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Won't be due to Greenwood.

      1. Moderately content penguin

        Fat fingered typing

    Happy to see Greenwood coming into form again.

    Bruno > Greenwood looking very appealing right now.
    For his price I don’t even mind if he misses the odd game

  12. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    So glad I brought in Greenwood on WC, if only he was more nailed I wouldn’t hesitated to captain him any given week, maybe even TC!

  13. Sun Jihai

    Shaw clinging onto 1 bp for now

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Here it is, Bruno Son > Salah Greenwood for next GW, any objection?

  15. Scots Gooner

    Been out the loop with football news this weekend - this Super League is really happening?!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Hopefully not, can’t see it.

      Would ruin so much for so many.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Unfortunately I don't see the likes of Kronke, Perez, Levy etc caring much about everyone else.

  16. JONALDINHO

    Just noticed a trend in Bruno’s output when Martial starts v when Martial doesn’t start

    When Martial starts - 18 games 152 points = 8.4PPG

    When Martial doesn’t start - 14 games 66 points = 4.7PPG

    A lot is made of Pogba’s influence affecting Bruno but I think Martial is the reason behind Bruno’s drop in form

    Vydra coming on

    1. g40steve
