Yeah, apparently Rashford wasn't well today but managed to play, so if him and Martial are both ready for Sunday I see the same line-up as Cardiff with Lukaku and Sanchez coming off the bench to get some minutes.I think we'll go back to the lineup against Cardiff - with the possible exception of resting Matic. Lukaku might make an appearance as I think it was said he was missing two games as part of his compassionate leave and Huddersfield was the second one.
We've looked shaky at the back all season to be fair, regardless of the system and the personnel we have played back there.Bournemouth are very open. Our defense did look vulnerable at times today too.
This could be a very exciting 4-2, 5-3 type of game. I expect us to win though, home game and with more attacking options to choose from. Hope Ole tries out Martial-Rashford-Alexis front 3.
The preview feed for this thread seemed to read as ‘Manchester United vs Bournemouth Class of 63’ and I thought ‘well that is a bit lopsided, isn’t it?’Be happy with a win, any win because that's all that is important at the moment....
De Gea
Dalot Lindelof Jones Young
Pereira Herrera Pogba
Lukaku Alexis Martial
Be nice to see Garner get a place on the bench and get a few minutes late on if we're comfortable but like Greenwood he may have to wait until the Reading match to get his chance.
I hope so, because Bournemouth are also very good at exposing us defensively as evidenced in the reverse fixture this season. We're still conceding a fair few chances defensively as well, the only difference is that we look better going forward.They will come out to play and I think we'll absolutely spank them as a result. Another 4-5 goals incoming!
Right back.Wonder how Lukaku would fit in Ole system!
Would love to see Bailly back for this.Bournemouth will test our backline and we need to be alert.
Everyone needs to rest - and against Bournemouth we can afford to give him a rest. I would much rather have him back for Newcastle where he will be neededRashford is honestly the last player I would want to rest
I don't see much rest for Rashford or Lingard here or at Newcastle. I think they'll start both games, but be subbed off if we can afford that luxury (two goal cushion after an hour).Everyone needs to rest - and against Bournemouth we can afford to give him a rest.
