Manchester United vs Burnley team news: Anthony Martial left out with slight injury in one of five changes

Anthony Martial has been left out of Manchester United’s matchday squad to face Burnley after picking up a slight injury.

Martial’s problem, picked up in training, is not thought to be serious but the 23-year-old did not travel with the United squad for Tuesday’s Old Trafford clash.

“He got a slight injury in training but hopefully he’ll be back for next weekend,” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the United caretaker manager, said on Martial.

“There was no chance he could play today so it was easy enough to put Romelu [Lukaku] on the pitch.”

Solskjaer makes a total of five changes from the side which beat Arsenal at the Emirates in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday.

Andreas Pereira makes his first Premier League start of the Solskjaer era in midfield, while Juan Mata is named in United’s front three.

Marcus Rashford also returns to the side and joins Lukaku in the attack, with Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard dropping out.

Phil Jones starts in the centre of defence as Eric Bailly is left out of the squad. David de Gea replaces Sergio Romero in goal.

Burnley line up as expected, with Sean Dyche unable to call upon Robbie Brady after his groin injury against Manchester City this weekend.
