How Manchester United could line up against Burnley

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is expected to include some players who featured at the World Cup in his starting side for Wednesday's EFL Cup contest with Burnley.

Harry Maguire could be rushed back to start in the middle of the defence alongside Victor Lindelof, as the Red Devils are currently short of options in that area of the field.

Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are definitely out of the match due to their involvement in the World Cup final, but Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen could join Maguire in the side despite participating in the competition in Qatar, which ended on Sunday.

Diogo Dalot is a doubt due to a hamstring issue that he picked up while representing Portugal, while Axel Tuanzebe is definitely out of the contest through injury.

Jadon Sancho is also a major doubt, as the attacker did not travel with the Man United squad for their winter training camp in Spain due to fitness issues.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka could get the nod at right-back, while Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek could potentially line up alongside Eriksen in midfield.

Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga are expected to feature in the wide areas for the 20-time English champions, with Anthony Martial set to lead the line, having overcome his fitness problems.

Ten Hag is likely to leave it late before making a final decision on the involvement of his other players who featured at the World Cup.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia; McTominay, Eriksen; Elanga, Van de Beek, Garnacho; Martial
