Marcos Rojo is back in training but is not yet available for selection.

• Burnley out of Europa League
• Mourinho still has club's backing

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

@Guymowbray: One team out of Europe already (Bur-exit?), the other set to return to its elite level - and yet the scrutiny is on the future of the man leading the latter, such is the way with Manchester United and Jose Mourinho.

How United set up in defence will get early focus, with the experiment of Ander Herrera in a back three sure to be abandoned.

Whatever formation or personnel plays, they'll have to perform well against a Burnley team unbowed by disappointment in only drawing against Olympiakos on Thursday.

"Back to everything we're about," said Sean Dyche about his team's performance.

Whether United will ever feel that under Mourinho is the unanswered question.

VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT

Burnley manager Sean Dyche on his side's European experience: "I think we've learned a lot on and off the pitch, about travelling, organisation, all the things that come with it.

"I think you saw a team who wanted it to carry on by the way, which is important considering how all of you have been saying how nobody wants it.

"But that is a mentality more than anything here - we want to win every game that we play."

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho: "I am the manager of one of the greatest clubs in the world but I'm also one of the greatest managers in the world.

"I have won eight titles. I'm the only manager to win in Italy, Spain and England. Not small titles, proper titles, and my second last season was one of my greatest achievements in football."
