As one might expect, Jose Mourinho is set to make several changes for Manchester United’s Carabao Cup encounter against Burton Albion.

‘Maybe we would be fresher for European competition’.
It’s been a riveting start to the season for Manchester United.
Manager Jose Mourinho praised three of his players after Manchester United’s 4-1 win on Wednesday night.
Martial has just 1 start in the Premier League and played the game vs Basel in the UEFA Champions League.
‘If we can win it, we win it. “In the first half we gave no chance to the opponent and we gave a very good dynamic”, he added.
Arsene Wenger changed his entire Arsenal side, while Chelsea counterpart Antonio Conte made nine changes from the team’s 0-0 draw last weekend with Arsenal.
Left-back Luke Shaw made his comeback from injury to give the Red Devils something more to cheer for on the night but their ideal evening was spoiled as Lloyd Dyer managed to score a scrappy consolation goal. Sure, United came back to beat Burton 5-0 in the replay with goals from Louis Saha, Kieran Richardson, Ryan Giggs and a pair by Giuseppe Rossi, but United must take these matches seriously.
The United Manager has already confirmed that De Gea, Matic, Valencia and Baily will be rested for the cup tie against Burton and as a result, it is expected that Sergio Romero and Captain Michael Carrick will be called to action.
“It will help us in our bid to stay in the Championship”.
“I think there are similarities in the way they go about it and how they deal with things in such a no-nonsense manner”. I think he has seen [former referee] Howard Webb a few times and Howard says we almost got a penalty when Gerard Pique handled it. Lingard collected the ball from Martial on the edge of the box and via a deflection from Turner, beat the Burton ‘keeper to put the game out of sight.

“The pathways for younger players at top clubs are blocked, and this competition is an opportunity”. That’s life in big clubs.
