Manchester United put in a disappointing performance against Newcastle United in their recent Premier League game, only managing a 1-1 draw against the relegation fighting side. Coming into the game, the Red Devils were the heavy favourites but instead, it must have been the Magpies who were disappointed not to walk out with all three points. Ralf Rangnick’s side had to rely on a scrappy equaliser from Edinson Cavani and some brilliant saves from David de Gea.
Thus, the next game against Burnley is now even more important for the Red Devils, who need three points to keep up with those ahead of them in the top four race.
It will also mark the third straight game that Manchester United will face a team in the relegation zone of the Premier League.
The Red Devils will have players like Bruno Fernandes, Victor Lindelof and Paul Pogba unavailable for the game against Burnley. Thus, Rangnick has some decisions to make when it comes to the starting XI.
Manchester United Predicted XI vs Burnley: Cavani time
Here’s how we think Ralf Rangnick will line Manchester United up, when they face Burnley at Old Trafford in a very important Premier League game:
David de Gea
The one man who seems to be putting in excellent performances one game after another for Manchester United right now is De Gea.
Not too long ago, it had looked like the Spaniard’s time at the club was coming to an end after Dean Henderson had moved ahead of him in the pecking order in the second half of last season.
But De Gea looks back to his best once again, and is very much the first choice between the posts for Manchester United at the moment. In fact, he might very well be their player of the season at this point.
