Mason Mount will return to the Manchester United squad for the Premier League visit of Burnley on Saturday.

Mount has missed the last two games with an unspecified injury and he has not started a league match since October 7.

The England international is the only returning player for United's final game of the month but United manager Erik ten Hag revealed Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial have resumed outdoor training.

Martial has not played since December 9 due to illness and then groin surgery, Shaw has been sidelined with a hamstring strain since February 18 and Martinez has been out with a calf strain since March 30.

"So same squad but apart from Mason Mount. He will return into the squad," Ten Hag said. "Yes, I think we will see them (Shaw, Martinez and Martial) all in the season.

"They all returned onto the pitch. Next week, they have to make the step into team training and they can be available for the last weeks. They progress well."

United will be without seven defenders again against Burnley and Casemiro is set to start his third match running at centre half alongside Harry Maguire.

Shaw, Martinez, Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (hamstring), Jonny Evans (knock), Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala are all still out.
