The amount of recovery time granted to Manchester United‘s World Cup participation will have a significant impact on the starting lineup for Wednesday’s EFL Cup match against Burnley.
Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, who participated in the Qatar tournament final on Sunday, are almost certain to miss the match.
The major question is whether manager Erik ten Hag would think that is enough preparation for the match against Burnley given that the remaining internationals are scheduled to resume training on Monday.
We anticipate him to deploy a good team if he does.
Diogo Dalot is a question after it appeared that he injured his hamstring during Portugal’s match against Morocco in the quarterfinals. Although Luke Shaw may be placed on the left and Tyrell Malacia on the right, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is anticipated to cover.
Varane and Lisandro would be replaced by Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.
Rashford and Antony are expected to play the flank roles, with Bruno Fernandes in the hole and Antony Martial upfront because Jadon Sancho doesn’t look ready to resume.
The deep midfield pivot would be provided by Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.
