Manchester United will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League this weekend when they host Burnley at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag's side saw off a spirited Sheffield United on Wednesday evening, winning 4-2 largely thanks to the quality of Bruno Fernandes. It wasn't the most convincing display having twice fallen behind, but it was a significant win nonetheless following their Wembley struggles last Sunday.

Man Utd are still without a whole host of injured stars for the visit of struggling Burnley this weekend and former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will be looking to get one over on his old rivals. The Clarets put four past Sheffield United in a big victory last Saturday and will be hopeful of causing an upset against the unpredictable Red Devils as they fight for survival.

Here is howMan Utd could line up against Burnley.

GK: Andre Onana - After his howler against the Blades, the Man Utd stopper will be desperate to play out the rest of the season with no more costly errors. Regardless of his recent gaffe, he will starthere.

RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - The tough-tackling full-back won't expect to do too much defending on Saturday, but Man Utd's recent defensive woes suggest that he may be called upon more than he would like against the Clarets.

CB: Casemiro — While both Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane could return this weekend, Casemiro will be utilised at centre-back if the duo aren't passed fit. The Brazilian hasn't been bad in a new role, but Ten Hag will still want his specialist defenders back soon.

CB: Harry Maguire - The England international is chasing a goal in three successive games when he faces Burnley, with two impressive headers in recent clashes with Coventry City and Sheffield
