WHAT'S THE TEAM NEWS?

Raphael Varane and Mason Mount returned to first-team training this week. Erik ten Hag may provide further updates on the pair's availability for the trip to Turf Moor in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, as well as Harry Maguire who missed the Bayern game due to injury.

Midfielders Sofyan Amrabat and Kobbie Mainoo have taken part in individual training away from the main group, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia remain sidelined. Antony and Jadon Sancho are unavailable. 

For Burnley, Lyle Foster will serve the first match of his three-game suspension following his red card against Nottingham Forest on Monday evening. Jay Rodriguez could be one of the options to replace the South African striker.

Michael Obafemi, Darko Churlinov and Hjalmar Ekdal are longer-term absentees. 

THE OPPOSITION

Burnley have experienced a difficult start to the season and currently find themselves in the relegation zone. Kompany's men tasted defeat in the first three games against Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham, all at Turf Moor. They did however pick up their first point with a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest.

The Clarets represent a totally different challenge to the side that was last in the Premier League in 2021/22, with Kompany adopting a new style, placing greater emphasis on playing out from the back. 

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Winger Luca Koleosho will be looking to build on his impressive display against Forest - the 19-year-old played a pivotal role in Zeki Amdouni's opening goal at the City Ground. 

Standing at 6ft 5in tall, midfielder Sander Berge could provide an aerial threat from set-pieces. The Norway international joined Kompany's side from Sheffield United in the summer. 

The previously mentioned Amdouni could carry Burnley's biggest attacking threat in the absence of the suspended Taylor.

RECENT MEETINGS

United defeated the Clarets on the way to winning the Carabao Cup last season, with a 2-0 home victory in the fourth round of the competition. Christian Eriksen netted his first at Old Trafford, while Marcus Rashford completed the scoring with a fine solo effort.

We last faced Burnley in the Premier League during the 2021/22 campaign - winning 3-1 at the Theatre of Dreams and drawing 1-1 at Turf Moor.
