Interim United boss Ralf Rangnick understands the midfielder’s frustrations

Both Lingard and Edinson Cavani will return for that game after controversially missing the match against Boro.

Lingard was given time off after his move to Newcastle collapsed on the back of Mason Greenwood being suspended.

Although Lingard denies he asked for the time off.

Cavani meanwhile was granted a request to stay in Uruguay for an extra couple of days after playing for his country on the previous Tuesday night.

Rangnick said: “They’re both available and will both be part of the squad for tomorrow’s game at Burnley.

“Both are top professionals, both have been training well.

“With regards to Jesse, I have a very good relationship with him, he knows I would have been willing to let him go at least until the issue with Mason came up.

“He mentioned some personal issues. We have to look forward now, there are no problems whatsoever between myself and Jesse and vice versa.

“I’m very happy to have him in the squad and he’ll be in the squad for tomorrow night’s game.”

Lingard was blocked from leaving The Theatre of Dreams following the arrest of suspended team-mate Greenwood, who is on bail after being quizzed by police on suspicion of rape, GBH, sexual assault and threats to kill.

Interim Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick revealed: “So it was two things one thing was obviously that we had the problem with Mason Greenwood and being without a player for the time being that has played regularly in the last couple of weeks.

Jesse Lingard is set to become a free agent in the summer

“On the other hand, the club could not find an agreement with another club.”

Lingard’s contract with United is set to expire in the summer and SunSport understands at least three teams are interested in acquiring his services.

As he will be out of contract in a matter of months, the midfielder is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any interested suitors.
