Predicted Manchester United Line-up To Face Bournemouth In The Premier League
Manchester United suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to bottom-placed West Brom on Sunday that saw Manchester City win the Premier League.
Second-placed United are now 16 points behind Pep Guardiola’s side with only five games left to play but Jose Mourinho’s men have very little time to mourn about the disappointing defeat on Sunday as they travel to the seaside to face Bournemouth on Wednesday.
Probable Manchester United XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Manager: Jose Mourinho
David De Gea (GK)
The world’s best goalkeeper, De Gea is sure to keep his place for Wednesday’s game at Bournemouth.
Antonio Valencia (RB)
Valencia has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League and will certainly start the game against the Cherries.
Chris Smalling (CB)
Smalling has been solid lately and should continue to keep his place in the team.
Victor Lindelof (CB)
Lindelof started ahead of Bailly for the West Brom game and the Swede put in a decent shift in defence.
Ashley Young (LB)
Young continues to thrive as a left-back for United. He should start at the Vitality.
Nemanja Matic (CM)
Matic’s dominant presence in the midfield would be one of the keys to help the Red Devils bounce back from a disappointing defeat against the Baggies.
Paul Pogba (CM)
Pogba failed to deliver in an advanced role last weekend at Old Trafford but will be itching to make a mark here.
Juan Mata (RW)
Mata is a clever customer and his vision and guile will be vital if United are to take three points home.
Jesse Lingard (CAM)
Lingard has arguably been our best player in the last month or two and must start the game against Bournemouth. His spirit and energy to run for 90 minutes non-stop have made him an invaluable player in this side.
Marcus Rashford (LW)
Alexis Sanchez clearly needs a rest and the player to replace him on the left should be Marcus Rashford. Rashford’s pace and direct running would be vital in opening up the Bournemouth defence.
Romelu Lukaku (ST)
Lukaku is brimming with confidence at the moment and should continue leading the United attack.
