Pogba, Ronaldo and Elanga start - Manchester United fans pick line-up vs Burnley

Manchester United will return to Premier League action tonight as they face Burnley in the Premier League.

Ralf Rangnick will once again have plenty of tough decisions to make with his line-up having lost to Middlesbrough on penalties last time out.

United created plenty of chances against the Championship side but failed to make the most of them as they were eliminated from the FA Cup.

A trip to bottom of the table Burnley is perhaps just what the doctor ordered so as to get back on track.

But who will start at Turf Moor this evening, here's what the United faithful think.

Goalkeeper - David De Gea

Was there really any doubt in this selection?

De Gea has comfortably been the standout player for United this season and will more than likely start in goal against the Clarets.

The Spaniard was given a rest against Boro in the cup so will be itching to return to the field tonight.

Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw

United's defence did not cover themselves in glory during the second half against Middlesbrough.

The Championship side caused no end of problems after the break and were rewarded with their controversial equaliser.

Despite this, Red Devils supporters would keep the same back four to take on Sean Dyche's side.

Alex Telles missing due to Covid probably played a factor in this decision.

Midfielders - Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes

Pogba made a welcome return to competitive football on Friday night and managed to make a good impression in doing so.

The Frenchman will be looking to get a Premier League appearance under his belt on Tuesday night.

McTominay scored the last time these two sides met and will be looking to repeat that trick in the reverse fixture.

Although he missed a huge opportunity on Friday, Fernandes rounds off the midfield three for United.

Forwards - Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Elanga

Sancho grabbed an all important goal for his confidence against Middlesbrough and will be hoping to take that momentum into the league campaign.

Both Ronaldo and Elanga missed penalties against Boro, the latter being the spot kick which sent United crashing out of the competition.

But the forwards have both been given the nod by the supporters in favour of Marcus Rashford who will have to settle for a place on the bench.
