Striker Oli McBurnie doubtful as Sheffield United take on Manchester United

A late call is set to be made on the Scotland international, with Blades boss Chris Wilder saying it is a “touch and go” situation.
Veteran striker Edinson Cavani is set to miss a third-straight Manchester United match.
The 33-year-old has returned to training after sustaining a knock at West Ham but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not expect to have him back for the trip.

Injured defender Phil Jones and back-up goalkeeper Sergio Romero are not registered in the Premier League squad.
