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.
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. Full team news to come.
