The Red Devils will face Vincent Kompany’s side this Saturday as they aim to build on a recent victory over Sheffield United. There is optimism for their upcoming match as Mount may make a return to the team, potentially boosting their efforts. However, Ten Hag, the team’s manager, does not anticipate any reinforcements in the backline, with several players sidelined and still in recovery. Ten Hag expressed caution about the return of these players in his update, stating that patience will be necessary.

He indicated that it is unlikely for them to be available for the game against Burnley. In the absence of these players, Casemiro, the Brazilian defender, has been partnering with Maguire in the heart of United’s backline in recent matches. Despite the absences, the manager remains satisfied with the balance and performance offered by this defensive pairing. Furthermore, the manager has expressed contentment with Casemiro’s contributions to the team.
