Predicted United XI vs. Bournemouth as Carrick faces big Mbeumo call Manchester United return to action on Friday when they make their way to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth. United will be heading into the game full of confidence, having beaten Aston Villa 3-1 last weekend.
The result gave United a three-point cushion between themselves and Unai Emery’s men in the race to finish within the guaranteed Champions League places. The Cherries are also in good form, with the side currently on a 10-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. They’ve won four and drawn six games during this streak and lie in 10th in the standings.
With eight matches left, Bournemouth have an outside chance of securing European football. A win over United would take them above Everton and into eighth, at least before Saturday’s round of fixtures. Speaking in his pre-match press conference , Carrick warned that Bournemouth will be a difficult game for the Red Devils.
Here’s our predicted XI for the contest: Defence Senne Lammens is an automatic choice between the sticks. Having started every game since his debut in October, the goalkeeper will once again be tasked with guarding the net. Carrick is likely to go with the same back-four he deployed against Villa.
