Man Utd v Burnley team news: Cavani, Wan-Bissaka and Shaw start, Rashford benched

The final match of Gameweek 20 sees Manchester United play host to Burnley at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:15 GMT.

For the home side, Ralf Rangnick makes six changes from Gameweek 19, with Eric Bailly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw coming in for Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles at the back, all of whom drop to the bench.

In midfield, Nemanja Matic replaces Fred, while further forward, Jadon Sancho and Edinson Cavani start in place of the suspended Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

Victor Lindelof again misses out after a positive Covid test, while Paul Pogba remains sidelined.

Under Rangnick, United are unbeaten in four matches in all competitions, but have scored only one goal in each game.

Meanwhile, at Burnley, they make two changes from their last match – a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham United all the way back in Gameweek 16.

In goal, Wayne Hennessey replaces Nick Pope, while Aaron Lennon also comes in for Jay Rodriguez.

That means Maxwel Cornet misses out again having failed to re-join team training, while Ashley Barnes, Connor Roberts and Josh Brownhill are also absent.

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, McTominay, Greenwood, Sancho, Ronaldo, Cavani

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Dalot, Varane, Fred, Lingard, van de Beek, Elanga, Rashford

    Anyone considering a West Ham defender?

      Nope. They can’t defend.

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      Not really maybe Johnson

    3. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Not even West Ham

      I would consider Cresswell when he is fit and only as he has great attacking returns so the clean sheets are less important. This is the year of big at the back. You just need to switch teams from Chelsea to city/pool right now.

    Early buyers punished again. When will people learn...

    1. Cruyff's Eleven

      Planning for the doubles. Not that bad innit.

      1. Fish up a tree

        Not a disaster as he could still play in GW21 & you have him for the doubles as well gl

        Planning for the doubles by picking players with no games next week seems a strange tactic.

        Well, it's a minefield.

        Does 0.1m matter more than a transfer in playing?

      4. Yank Revolution

        But you have no concrete idea when they will occur.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Good.

    I've seen the graphic but I don't understand why Leicester can't have a double gameweek in GW21?

    (Well, formerly a DGW but now a SGW)

    1. Ginkapo FPL

      They could have agame against Everton but time is really running out to organise. Any extra games are looking really unlikely at this point

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Ah okay, thanks mate.

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A single vs Everton could still be really decent, and if it gets announced I’ll jump on a mid but not taking a risk on one without that confirmation.

      With Newcastle Everton also possibly off that would be the obvious one to play right?

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I guess so. The point around being short on time makes sense though.

  4. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Holy s*** is that actually Aaron Lennon?

    Well I’ll be

  5. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years

    Ronaldo(C) time!

  6. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who’s the best James replacement that’s not TAA, Cancelo, Reguilon?

      Cucurella looks very good with Brighton's fixtures imo

      1. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I’m going for him. Got cash and eying up a wolves defender for regi if he keeps up this poor game time.

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

          Think so.

    2. RamaJama

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years

      They could sign Mbappe right now and turn him into a dud

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years

  12. Rainer

    What a miss by CR7

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Get the f out of my team Ronaldo

  22. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is there a Palace presser, keen to get an update on Gallagher?

  23. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ronaldo(C) noooooo. That’s a potential 14 pointer goal

  24. F4L
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    CR7 doesn't want any bonus tonight

  25. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Shaw to weak link

  26. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    How did CR7 miss that!?

  27. Gubby-Allen
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I might sign Maddison now. Guarantee of 0 points, which equals my captains' total this week and is more than the - 1 that I usually get.

  28. Ady87
    • 10 Years

    Ronnie(c) *voms*

  29. fricky_

    Wow. He just doesn't miss those, until now 🙂
