Pogba absent as Man United travel to face Burnley

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) has not travelled to Burnley for Manchester United’s Gameweek 20 match.

The Frenchman has made substitute appearances in both of the last two outings but will not feature at all this time around.

Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst has reported that Pogba’s absence is due to the tight turnaround between matches, especially tricky for him considering his long spell on the sidelines through injury.

Gameweek 19 goal-scorer Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) finds himself back on the bench after a rare start against Burnley, while Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) feature in the starting XI once again.

Meanwhile, Burnley have gone with a full-strength side despite playing on Boxing Day.

Ashley Barnes (£6.2m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) lead the line although Nick Pope (£4.7m) is the key Fantasy asset, owned by 14% of managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Young; Matic, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, D James; Martial.

        Indeed, often best for an FPL asset to score and then not touch the ball for the rest of the game

      11. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years

        OK I think. I have 14 + Salah (C), Mane, TAA, Lundstram and KdB to go

      So Pellegrini gone which isn’t a surprise
      That would mean all top flight London clubs outside of crystal palace have replaced their manager since the summer. Crazy

      Why is Williams playing? Is he even close to be nailed?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Behind Shaw.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Shaw played 2 days ago. Just rotating the squad.

        Shaw seems to be preferred.

        He is 100 times better than shaw.

    • Henning
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tempted to do Rashford and Ings to Kane and DCL
      Or should i just do Rashford to Jimenez and save some money to upgrade Grealish?

      Clearly pogba won't work out but is pog to Martial a smart move this week? I need to ship obviously - but it's never easy going sideways.
