Manchester United begin life after Ruben Amorim with a trip to relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League.

Darren Fletcher will take charge of United as caretaker manager after Amorim was relieved of his duties on Monday.

There remains plenty to salvage from United's season as they lie sixth, leave on points with fifth-placed Chelsea and just three behind Liverpool in fourth. The reigning champions travel to Arsenal on Thursday.

By contrast, Burnley are staring at a second successive instant return to the Championship. The Clarets are 19th on 12 points, nine shy of safety.

Burnley vs. Man United lineups, team news

Burnley's 11-match winless run is compounded by a huge absentee list. Josh Cullen (knee), Zeki Amdouni (knee), Connor Roberts (calf), Joe Worrall (muscle), Zian Flemming (muscle) and Jordan Beyer (hamstring) are all in the treatment room.

Former United duo Axel Tuanzebe  and Hannibal Mejbri  are absent due to the Africa Cup of Nations, as is striker Lyle Foster.

Maxime Esteve  could be fit to return after sitting out the 2-0 defeat to Brighton.

All eyes will be on whether Fletcher sticks with Amorim's much-maligned 3-4-2-1 or reverts to some variation on the 4-3-3 he has typically deployed when working with United's youth teams.

Mason Mount  and Bruno Fernandes  are each fit to return, although Fletcher pledged to manage the club captain's minutes carefully. Harry Maguire (thigh) is back in training and Kobbie Mainoo (calf) could also be involved after falling from favour under Amorim.

Matthijs de Ligt (back) remains out, while Bryan Mbeumo, Noussair Mazraoui  and Amad Diallo  are at AFCON.
