Two forgotten Man Utd stars set to be handed shock start in Carabao Cup against Burnley

ERIK TEN HAG is set to recall two forgotten men into the Manchester United starting XI to face Burnley tonight.

The Red Devils return to competitive action in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag will field an experimental XI against Burnley tonight

And the Dutch boss looks on course to hand spots in the starting XI to both Martin Dubravka and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Goalkeeper Dubravka joined United on loan in the summer but made his only appearance in the round-three win over Aston Villa with David De Gea playing the rest of the 20 games.

Dubravka has been on the bench a further nine times while ex-Burnley stopper Tom Heaton has made 16 matchday squads in 2022-23 – but is yet to feature.

At right-back, Wan-Bissaka will make just his second appearance of the season when the Clarets make the short trip to Manchester for the 8pm kick-off.

The defender came on for the final four minutes of the 2-1 win over Liverpool wasy back on August 22.

He has been kept out of the team by injury and Diogo Dalot’s form.

But with Dalot reaching the World Cup quarter-finals with Portugal, the former Palace man gets his chance.
