Manchester United predicted XI vs Bournemouth as Erik ten Hag makes two big changes
Erik ten Hag is expected to make two big changes to his Manchester United line-up to face Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds are looking to build on their positive performance last time out against Chelsea at Old Trafford, where they dominated and took a deserved three points to get closer to the Premier League’s top four.
Ten Hag’s side face a difficult test in Bournemouth, who have been in their own positive patch of form in the league.
With a busy schedule ahead, Ten Hag has reiterated the need for rotation in recent weeks, however, he will also need to find a balance between rotation and playing those in form and gelling the side together.
In defence, United will be forced into one change as Victor Lindelof is unavailable. Sergio Reguilon will again come into the defence with Luke Shaw moving to centre-back alongside Harry Maguire.
Diogo Dalot will be preferred over Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the right side in front of goalkeeper Andre Onana.
In midfield, both Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes are expected to start for The Reds.
However, Kobbie Mainoo could come back into the lineup after Sofyan Amrabat started against Chelsea.
The front three is expected to remain the same after the trio of Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Antony worked well together, especially out of possession.
Predicted XI: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, Reguilon; Mainoo, McTominay, B.Fernandes; Antony, Hojlund, Garnacho
