Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester United could line up for Sunday's Premier League meeting with Burnley at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are expected to welcome Marcus Rashford back into their starting lineup for Sunday's Premier League meeting with Burnley at Old Trafford.

The forward was left on the bench as an unused substitute during Thursday's 2-0 win over Granada in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night due to a slight fitness concern.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful of having him back available, which could spell bad news for Mason Greenwood, who appears to be first in line to drop out despite scoring in his last two Premier League games.

Greenwood's latest strike means that only Wayne Rooney has scored more top-flight goals for Man United as a teenager, but his position is the most vulnerable with Edinson Cavani set to lead the line once again, Bruno Fernandes playing behind the striker and Paul Pogba on the left.

Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw will also come back into the starting XI after missing out through suspension in midweek, taking the places of Axel Tuanzebe and Alex Telles respectively.

Scott McTominay is another who will be pushing for a recall, while Dean Henderson should return having now seemingly usurped David de Gea as Man United's number one goalkeeper.

Anthony Martial is the highest profile absentee for the hosts, who are expected to be without the Frenchman for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury.

Eric Bailly could also miss out once again, while Phil Jones is a long-term absentee.

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani
