Breaking news: 3 Manchester United stars set to miss Premier League showdown against Burnley

 Manchester United have confirmed that 

three first-team players will miss their Premier

 League game against Burnley. They are Victor

 Lindelof, Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.




United will take on Burnley on Thursday 


following their 1-1 draw against Newcastle 


United on Monday night. Victor Lindelof 


missed that trip to the Northeast after testing


 positive for COVID-19. The Swedish defender


 is expected to miss the Burnley game due


 to the same reason.



Meanwhile, Pogba continues to recover 


from a long-term thigh injury. The 28-


year-old midfielder suffered the same 


while on international duty with France 


in November. He has not featured for 


United since their 5-0 loss to Liverpool 


at Old Trafford. The former Juventus 


midfielder was sent-off in that game 


following a two-footed challenge 


on Naby Keita.



The last absentee for Manchester United


 is attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes. 


The 27-year-old picked up his fifth 


yellow card of the Premier League season


, and is suspended for one game.



Interim manager Ralf Rangnick welcomed


 the return of defender Raphael Varane 


and forward Edinson Cavani in the last 


game. The latter scored on his return 


to first-team football, helping United 


salvage a point against Newcastle.



The game against Newcastle also saw 


midfielder Scott McTominay getting 


replaced 12 minutes before the final whistle


 after he felt some discomfort. However


, the Scotsman could return to action 


against Burnley, as there is no news on 


how serious his knock is.



Manchester United will look to 

end 2021 on a high


The year has been a mixed bag for 


Manchester United. The Red Devils had 


some high moments this year. That 


include finishing second in the Premier 


League and the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo


 from Juventus in the summer. However, 


there have been some dull moments as well.



United lost the 2020-21 Europa League


 final to Villarreal in a titanic penalty 


shootout after David De Gea missed his 


spot-kick. The Red Devils also made 


a poor start to their 2021-22 campaign,


 which saw the club sack Ole Gunnar 


Solskjaer.



United will now look to end the year on a high under interim manager Rangnick. The Red Devils are unbeaten under the 63-year-old tactician. However, their performances haven't been convincing. Manchester United have secured a couple of 1-0 wins against Crystal Palace and Norwich City before getting a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Newcastle.
