Manchester United heads to the South Coast tonight, looking to secure their place in the Champions League spots and achieve their eighth victory under Michael Carrick.
The team has climbed to third place after a strong performance, gathering 22 points since mid-January—more than any other team in the league. Carrick recently led the team to a solid win against Aston Villa but now faces a challenge against Bournemouth, a team they’ve struggled to beat recently, going five games without a win against them.
Manchester United team news
The squad is dealing with several injuries. Lisandro Martínez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Patrick Dorgu are confirmed to be sidelined. As a result, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro will pair up in defense.
Noussair Mazraoui is also uncertain to play after missing training due to illness, which may lead to changes in the backline. Bruno Fernandes will continue to be a key player in attack; he has created over six chances in each of his last three games and could be the first player to achieve this in four consecutive Premier League matches.
Senne Lammens will start as goalkeeper, likely backed by a defense including Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw. In midfield, Casemiro will join Kobbie Mainoo. Notably, all of Casemiro’s last five league goals have been set up by Fernandes.
Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha are expected to play wide, supporting Bryan Mbeumo in attack. Despite a tough record in away games on Fridays, United will aim to leverage their strong form to overcome a determined Bournemouth team.
