Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Burnley

Manchester United will head to Burnley on Tuesday night knowing that a point would see them move above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table.

The Red Devils have won eight of their last 10 in the league to rise into second position, and a draw would be enough to move them into first ahead of next weekend's trip to Anfield.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will enter the contest at Turf Moor off the back of a 1-0 win over Watford in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Burnley, who are currently 16th in the table.
