Manchester United will travel to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth this Saturday as they look to grab maximum points in the Premier League encounter. The Red Devils recently recorded a splendid 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, which has lifted their confidence ahead of this game.
Erik Ten Hag will opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and could be inclined to make a few changes to the starting XI for this game. Both Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial will drop to the bench to make way for Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted XI Vs Bournemouth
Defence
David de Gea will play between the sticks for Man United after keeping a clean sheet in his last league outing. Raphael Varane will again function alongside Victor Lindelof at the heart of ten Hag’s defence as they try to keep the Bournemouth attackers at bay throughout the 90 minutes.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be a nailed-on starter as the right-back, while Luke Shaw hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Midfield
Christian Eriksen and Casemiro will anchor the midfield for the Mancunian giants as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Antony will play just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to link up with each other well so that they can create some clear-cut chances in the final third.
Marcel Sabitzer and Fred will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Marcus Rashford will lead the charge for Man United in the final third. The English striker will be ten Hag’s best hope for a goal this weekend.
Anthony Martial will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if the Red Devils are in need of a goal by then.
