Ralf Rangnick will have more options available for Tuesday’s Premier League clash against Burnley.

Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard will both return to the squad, having been allowed extra time off for the disappointing FA Cup defeat against Boro.

On top of that, Raphael Varane should be fit to start after coming off early in the defeat to Boro, but Rangnick did not provide an update on Victor Lindelof who remains a doubt through illness.

Eric Bailly returned from the African Cup of Nations with an ankle problem and it’s unlikely that he would start anyway.

David de Gea will return to his place between the sticks, while the back four should remain the same — Dalot, Varane, Maguire and Shaw.

Fred left training early on Monday so we could see Paul Pogba make a second consecutive start in midfield, along with Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes.

Jadon Sancho impressed on Friday night with his opening goal and we reckon he is destined to start this one with Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo leading the attack.

SN’s predicted line-up to face Burnley: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles; McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes; Sancho, Ronaldo, Rashford.
