Man Utd team news vs Burnley: Lukaku, Martial and Pogba start

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has fielded a full-strength side to face Burnley on Saturday with Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial all involved from the start.

The Portuguese boss makes a single change from the starting XI which beat Stoke City 3-0 on Monday, bringing back Ashley Young at full-back following his three-match ban for an elbow in the midriff of Southampton's Dusan Tadic on December 30.

Young replaces Luke Shaw on the left side of defence, ending the former Southampton defender's five-game run of consecutive starts.
