Premier League: Solskjaer Reveals Man Utd Team News for Burnley Encounter


Man Utd caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided an update on his squad as the in-form Reds look to make it nine wins out of nine in all competitions since he took charge last month.

Hence, the boss will have a selection headache albeit a nice one as he prepares to meet a team that has made life difficult at Old Trafford in the last couple of seasons
Marouane Fellaini is still ruled out through injury but fellow midfielder Scott McTominay scored and shone for the Under-23s against Paris Saint Germain on Friday and defender Chris Smalling is closing in on a return to action even if Marcos Rojo is understood to still be unavailable.

“Chris has trained for a week now, so he is looking good,” Solskjaer told MUTV. “It is about when we get him into the team.”
The Reds face the Clarets at 20:15 GMT on Wednesday, at Old Trafford, and will look to bounce back after the 2-0 defeat to leaders Liverpool on Sunday.
I do not think there were any other knocks in that game last weekend so we should have the same players to be available against Burnley, Solskjaer told MUTV. Which is positive?
Of course, we are stretched and some of the players have played a lot. And they are improving for it and will reap the benefit and get stronger physically and mentally more robust.
Of course, it is great having Eric Bailly, Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw back in so we have got more choices. 
It is a blow Marcus Rashford is out but that's football. It is part and parcel of it. He is been fantastic all season for us and now, unfortunately, we have to do without him.
The Reds fielded five defenders at Anfield, with Luke Shaw, drafted into the side, but it would appear likely a more familiar 4-3-2-1 formation will be deployed at home in midweek.
Bailly and Phil Jones were both on the bench, along with Dalot, and it could be the case that more attacking options are also considered to be among the substitutes including youngsters Tahith Chong and Angel Gomes.

In addition to Rashford, Paul Pogba, and Scott McTominay remain on the sidelines, and Axel Tuanzebe has also been out.

What about Burnley?

The visitors will be buoyed by their excellent 2-1 victory over high-flying Leicester City last time out with Nick Pope's penalty save from Jamie Vardy proving a turning point and Ashley Westwood bagging the winner.
That is nine points out of seven games and that does not sound like a king’s ransom, said Sean Dyche. But, in the Premier League, that is a pretty healthy return, especially against some of the teams we’ve faced.
Clarets striker Ashley Barnes misses out after a hernia operation while Johann Berg Gudmundsson is doubtful with a thigh injury.
Ex-Red Robbie Brady returned from suspension during Burnley’s 5-0 FA Cup loss at Manchester City on Saturday but was withdrawn at half-time with a groin injury.
Another player who was on Man Utd’s books as a youngster, Dwight McNeil drew praise from Sean Dyche for his form.

Tom Heaton, also a former member of our Academy looks to get the nod in goal, although Nick Pope played at the Etihad Stadium and Joe Hart is another option.
Matt Lowton and Aaron Lennon appears unlikely to be involved but Phil Bardsley, yet another Manchester United old boy could be available.
