Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire is available to face Burnley tonight after he was spotted at the team’s hotel today, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
United travel to Turf Moor to take on the Clarets in their first game since Ruben Amorim was fired from the managerial role earlier this week.
The Red Devils have put Darren Fletcher in temporary charge of the team, but plans are underway to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season.
Fletcher has been managing the Man United Under-18s and is expected to play with a back four.
However, whether Maguire is fit enough to start tonight is unclear.
The 32-year-old Englishman last featured for the Old Trafford club in their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last November.
He had made only nine appearances across all competitions before then, and Ayden Heaven and Lisandro Martinez have impressed in his absence.
Man United captain Bruno Fernandes is also likely to return, having missed the last three Premier League games.
Burnley are 19th in the table after 20 games, with nine points between them and safety.
They are not expected to pose a threat to Man United, but will be desperate to get a result tonight as surviving relegation is still mathematically possible.
Fletcher is not in the running to be named interim manager until the end of the season, but he could do with a good performance and result tonight.
A win tonight will help boost Man United’s chances of a top-four finish, and most of the players have a statement to make following Amorim’s dismissal.
Major changes could be on the cards tonight, and Man United fans will be eager to see how things unfold as the club prepares for life under a new manager.
