How Manchester United could line up against Bournemouth

How Manchester United could line up against Bournemouth

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is set to recall Marcus Rashford to his starting side for Tuesday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

The England international was dropped from the first XI against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday after being late for a team meeting, but he was a half-time substitute at Molineux and scored the only goal of the match to hand the Red Devils a huge three points in their battle to secure a top-four finish.

Rashford is now set to replace Alejandro Garnacho in the starting side, while there could be a change at the back, with Lisandro Martinez potentially being brought into the XI.

Martinez is yet to feature for the Red Devils since returning from the World Cup, but he will have had almost a full week of training by the time that this match kicks off.

Luke Shaw has starred as a centre-back in the team's last two matches but is likely to move across to left-back, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka will keep his spot at right-back if Diogo Dalot is again unavailable due to a hamstring problem.

Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are both back following illness but might be forced to accept spots on the bench once again here.

Axel Tuanzebe is definitely out with a long-term issue, while Scott McTominay (illness) and Jadon Sancho (fitness) remain doubts for the Red Devils.

Anthony Martial is again expected to lead the line, while Antony should continue off the right for the 20-time English champions, who have won their last five matches in all competitions.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Eriksen, Casemiro; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
