Burnley v Manchester United confirmed XIs and team news as Hartman back from the cold
Quilindschy Hartman is back in Burnley’s squad for tonight’s clash against Manchester United.
The left-back, who hasn’t been involved in three of Burnley’s last four match day squads, is named among the substitutes as the Clarets return to Turf Moor.
Hartman has been the subject of January transfer speculation, with both Ajax and Besiktas linked with his services.
But after opting to rest the Dutchman and give him some “oxygen”, Scott Parker has opted to bring him back to the fold.
Burnley’s under-pressure boss makes three changes from the weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Brighton, which made it 11 games without a win.
Maxime Esteve returns from injury to replace Hjalmar Ekdal, who drops down to the bench.
Hannibal also comes straight into the starting XI on his return from AFCON, while Marcus Edwards also starts having been benched against Brighton due to a tight hamstring.
Both Jaidon Anthony and Jacob Bruun Larsen drop down to the bench.
Despite only flying back from AFCON last night, Lyle Foster is also named among the substitutes as Parker is able to name a far stronger bench than he was at the Amex at the weekend, with two youngsters featuring.
Axel Tuanzebe remains absent but will soon be back after DR Congo were knocked out at the first knockout stage against Algeria.
