Predicted Manchester United lineup to face Bournemouth ahead of tomorrow evening’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are in fine form and oversaw their third consecutive league win on Saturday afternoon at the Molineux. Last week, United also saw out a 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

The team have been granted a lucrative opportunity to move into third place tomorrow due to our fellow top four competitors dropping points this weekend; Newcastle United, Manchester City and Chelsea all drew their respective matches, whilst Tottenham Hostpur suffered a 2-0 home loss to Aston Villa.

Predicted United lineup

Lisandro Martinez returned to Carrington a World Cup winner last week, however, the manager opted against including him in the matchday squad to face Wolves due to a lack of training sessions.

Tomorrow, he will likely be fit to partake in the match, but will Erik ten Hag want to throw him into the starting lineup if he did not even make the bench on Saturday?

As well as that, Luke Shaw has been utilised as a centre-back for two games and has not put a foot wrong. He has kept two clean sheets alongside Raphael Varane and has complimented the position due to being left-footed.

Shaw being deployed centrally has meant that Tyrell Malacia has been awarded two starts and displayed two faultless performances – so much so, that he was included in Who Scored’s and Sofascore’s Team of the Week.

Ten Hag faces a similar conundrum when looking at the right-back role. Diogo Dalot has returned from injury to complete several training sessions but Aaron Wan-Bissaka has performed well enough to warrant another start.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
