Man Utd boss Rangnick drops wantaway Martial for Burnley clash

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has dropped wantaway striker Anthony Martial for tonight's clash with Burnley.

Jesse Lingard has been included in the Manchester United squad ahead of their Premier League clash against Burnley on Thursday night.

Lingard, 29, was not part of the squad that drew 1-1 with Newcastle at the start of the week but was pictured arriving at the Lowry Hotel with the rest of the squad on Thursday afternoon.

His recall comes as Ralf Rangnick's side return to action without the aide of midfielder Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese will miss the match against Burnley through suspension after he received a one-match ban for picking up his fifth Premier League booking of the season in the draw at St James' Park.

The Manchester Evening News says Martial wasn't seen arriving with the rest of the squad as the French forward looks set to leave the club on loan in the January transfer window.
