Never a dull day at Manchester United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even during parts of the recent FIFA World Cup were the 20-time English champions on everyone’s lips, what with parting company with Cristiano Ronaldo for a second time followed swiftly by the news that the club’s owners, the Glazer family, are considering selling their shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United’s first game in the second portion of the domestic campaign sees them welcome Burnley to Old Trafford in a League Cup fourth round tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winners will secure a place in the quarter-finals and with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham already eliminated, the Carabao Cup presents a fine opportunity for Erik ten Hag to claim his first trophy as United boss. One of Liverpool or Man City will also crash out as the two teams meet on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manager should be able to count on those who have returned from the World Cup, particularly the England, Brazil and Portugal players who all exited the tournament at the quarter-finals. The only absentees are finalists Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
