Confirmed Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Bournemouth, six big changes | OneFootball

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has named his starting line-up for today’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils bowed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek after a 4-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final. Amorim will be eyeing a better showing against the Cherries.

The Portuguese tactician has made six changes from the cup defeat to Spurs.

Andre Onana returns in goal after a forgettable outing for Altay Bayindir on Thursday night. The Turkey international made two high-profile errors.

There are a couple of defensive changes. Leny Yoro drops to the bench, while Victor Lindelof has not made the matchday squad due to injury.

Matthijs de Ligt also misses the game due to illness.

Harry Maguire comes into the starting XI to partner Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui in the back three.

Diogo Dalot will operate in the right wing-back role this afternoon. Tyrell Malacia has got the nod to feature on the opposite flank.

Eriksen has been replaced by Kobbie Mainoo in midfield. The United graduate will accompany Manuel Ugarte, who has become a key player under Amorim.

Antony has been dropped after an underwhelming display in midweek.

Amad Diallo bagged a goal and an assist coming off the bench. The Ivorian will partner Bruno Fernandes in the attacking midfield department.

Joshua Zirkzee has been picked to lead the attack ahead of Rasmus Hojlund after his goal against Spurs.

United are nine points behind the top four. They must return to winning ways against the Cherries to boost their prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.

The Cherries secured a 3-0 win at Old Trafford last season. United have the opportunity to avenge that result. They need a strong start with a goal to ease any early nerves.

Confirmed Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Tottenham: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Malacia; Diallo, Fernandes; Zirkzee.
