Manchester United captain Harry Maguire faces Burnley on a suspension tightrope.

The Manchester Evening News says United can't afford any complacency ahead of two massive fixtures and club captain Maguire will need to be on his best behaviour for the first match this week.

The 27-year-old is currently one booking away from an automatic one-match suspension, so knows a yellow against Burnley in midweek would rule him out of the game against Liverpool at the weekend.

Maguire has picked up four bookings across 16 appearances in the league this season, and any player who is booked five times inside their team's first 19 league matches of the season is handed an automatic one-match ban.

Players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in Premier League matches up to and including their team's 32nd fixture are hit with two-match bans.
