Man United vs Bournemouth – Predicted lineup and team news

Must read

Manchester United welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford this afternoon, as Ruben Amorim searches for consistency from his side.

It’s been a mixed start to the new manager’s tenure with defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals exposing familiar flaws. Last weekend, however, saw Amorim secure the biggest win of his reign to date. Late heroics from Amad Diallo helped United snatch a Manchester Derby win over Manchester City at the Etihad.

However, the Red Devils remain mired in the bottom half and are nine points adrift of the Champions League places. Their opponents on Sunday are exceeding all expectations and can climb into fifth with a win at Old Trafford. Andoni Iraola’s side secured an impressive 3-0 victory in this fixture last season.

Manchester United team news

Ruben Amorim has insisted Marcus Rashford remains availalbe for selection despite his omission from recent squads. Dropped for last weekend’s derby win, the forward has since suggested he is open to leaving Old Trafford.

Mason Mount suffered a setback in the win at Manchester City and is facing another spell out, as his injury-plagued period with the club continues. Luke Shaw also remains on the treatment table, while Matthijs de Ligt will have hoped to have shaken off the illness that saw him miss Thursday’s trip to Tottenham.

A decision will be made on whether Joshua Zirkzee comes back into the side after an encouraging cameo off the bench at Spurs. Rasmus Hojlund has scored just twice in the Premier League so far this season.
