Manchester United to match Burnley

Cavani scored his second goal of the season to earn Manchester United a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park and his return to form and fitness is a major boost for Ralf Rangnick.

Scott McTominay appeared to go down in discomfort against Newcastle before being replaced by Nemanja Matic with 12 minutes remaining, meaning he is a doubt for the game against Burnley at Old Trafford.

Rangnick could look to freshen things up given the hectic festive schedule and the disappointing display against Newcastle.

United will again be without Victor Lindelof, who has tested positive for Covid.

Paul Pogba will also miss out due to his thigh problem, as he prepares to enter the final six months of his contract.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles, Fred, McTominay, Sancho, Fernandes, Ronaldo, Cavani.
