Can Manchester United get back to winning ways against Bournemouth in the Premier League?
United were abject in defeat in Como in midweek to pile the pressure on Michael Carrick.
They enter Sunday just a point above the bottom three and are in desperate need of a much-improved display against the Cherries who are also having a tough start to the season domestically.
Bournemouth smashed AC Milan on Thursday night though in an historic win for the club.
Here’s how they line up.
Manchester United team news
The big news is that Carrick has left out Bruno Fernandes.
The captain was the latest United player to speak out after defeat in Italy in midweek, when he questioned Carrick’s tactical approach .
He suggested it was the responsibility of the manager and his coaching staff to identify problems and make changes during matches.
He drops to the bench as Mason Mount starts in midfield. In total there are two changes to the starting XI that faced Leeds.
Ayden Heaven and Mount come in for Lisandro Martínez and Bruno.
Manchester United XI: Senne Lammens, Ayden Heaven, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos, Mason Mount, Youri Tielemans, Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo
Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth make four changes from the side which sparkled against Milan.
Michele Di Gregorio, Bafode Diakite, Ruan Christie and Ben Gannon-Doak drop out as the likes of Rayan come back into the starting XI. Adam Smith makes his 400th start in England’s top four tiers
Bournemouth XI: Djordje Petrovic, Adrien Truffert, António Silva, James Hill, Adam Smith, Lewis Cook, Tyler Adams, Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert, Rayan, Evanilson
