Because in the first game [it was Victor] Lindelof and [Eric] Bailly," he said."Today played [Phil] Jones and [Chris] Smalling, but now Jones is injured, and next match it will be Smalling, with another one. "When Marcos Rojo comes he will be an option, and no, I don't know my best back four."United will look to bounce back from two consecutive defeats when they take on Burnley on Sunday.</blockquote>
