An insight into the absence of Raphael Varane from Manchester United\u2019s starting line-up to face Burnley this evening has been provided online.<\/p>\n

Ralf Rangnick\u2019s troops are of course set to return to action in short order.<\/p>\n

In the final Premier League fixture of 2021, the Red Devils have welcomed relegation-battling Burnley to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

United head into proceedings eyeing a return to winning ways, having slipped further off the pace of the top-4 chasing pack in the English top-flight owing to an altogether disappointing 1-1 stalemate with Newcastle last time out.<\/p>\n

Burnley, for their part, currently occupy the final of the division\u2019s relegation spots, but will no doubt be aware that a positive result this evening could kickstart their survival bid, with Sean Dyche and co. boasting several games in hand on all of the sides around them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As such, United, amid a hit-and-miss start to life under new boss Rangnick, will be wary of an always game Clarets outfit on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, though, the German mastermind in charge of overseeing matters at Old Trafford has not been shy in shaking things up.<\/p>\n

As confirmed a short time ago, Rangnick has opted for a hefty six changes to the XI which stuttered to a 1-1 stalemate with Newcastle on Monday night:<\/p>\n
