Pogba absent as Man United travel to face Burnley

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) has not travelled to Burnley for Manchester United’s Gameweek 20 match.

The Frenchman has made substitute appearances in both of the last two outings but will not feature at all this time around.

Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst has reported that Pogba’s absence is due to the tight turnaround between matches, especially tricky for him considering his long spell on the sidelines through injury.

Gameweek 19 goal-scorer Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) finds himself back on the bench after a rare start against Burnley, while Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) feature in the starting XI once again.

Meanwhile, Burnley have gone with a full-strength side despite playing on Boxing Day.

Ashley Barnes (£6.2m) and Chris Wood (£6.2m) lead the line although Nick Pope (£4.7m) is the key Fantasy asset, owned by 14% of managers.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Wood.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Young; Matic, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, D James; Martial.
