Manchester United will face off against AFC Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils don’t have anything to play for in the league, and the main focus is on the Europa League. Winning this competition will take them to the Champions League.
As per the team news, Lisandro Martínez and Joshua Zirkzee’s seasons are over due to their respective injuries, while Diogo Dalot has now sustained a calf problem and is set to remain sidelined over the next few weeks.
Amad Diallo is edging closer to returning, but he won’t be available for selection in this encounter, along with Matthijs de Ligt, Ayden Heaven, and Toby Collyer. Altay Bayindir was not in the matchday squad last time out owing to an issue, and it remains to be seen whether he returns in this game.
Expected Man Utd line-up vs Bournemouth
Ruben Amorim is likely to make four changes to his starting XI from last weekend’s defeat against Wolves, but Andre Onana is set to keep hold of his place between the sticks.
Noussair Mazraoui should be in the RCB position, and Harry Maguire may commence in the middle. Leny Yoro could complete the centre-back trio; in that case, Victor Lindelof would have to make do with a place on the bench. Tyler Fredicson was solid last time out but might return to the bench this weekend.
Patrick Dorgu is expected to be on the RWB position, and Harry Amass is likely to continue on the opposite side.
Manuel Ugarte could be paired up with Casemiro in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho set to be the two CAMs. Hence, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo may feature off the bench.
Rasmus Hojlund should be leading the line, and Chido Obi might be involved as a substitute. Here’s the predicted 3-4-2-1 Man Utd line-up vs Bournemouth:
