Man Utd predicted XI as they face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Ruben Amorim's side were beaten 4-3 by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in midweek and will need an improvement if they are to defeat a side who famously won with ease at Old Trafford a year ago.

The United head coach made five changes to his starting line up for the midweek defeat and is expected to freshen his side up once again amid a packed festive fixture schedule. Andre Onana is a certainty to return in goal after Altay Bayindir's horror show against Tottenham, though Lisandro Martinez could keep his place amid a lack of left-footed options in defence.

It would be no surprise to see Harry Maguire return in central defence, though Matthijs de Ligt will be classified as a doubt for the match after he missed the Carabao Cup defeat due to illness. Amad Diallo should return in his favoured right wing-back role and Tyrell Malacia could be given another chance at left wing-back amid Diogo Dalot's struggles.

Manuel Ugarte was one of United's best players against Tottenham and could keep his place in central midfield, with Kobbie Mainoo a leading contender to partner him. Bruno Fernandes is another player certain to start, while Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are both competing for the solitary striker role. Alejandro Garnacho could push for a start after his fine response to being dropped for the Manchester derby win over Man City, though it remains to be seen whether Marcus Rashford will be recalled after missing the last two matches.

Mason Mount is a certainty to miss the match after his latest injury setback, while Victor Lindelof looks set for a spell on the sidelines after he was injured in the Tottenham defeat. Luke Shaw is still out with a hamstring injury but could return before the end of the year.

United predicted XI vs Bournemouth: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Amad, Ugarte, Mainoo, Malacia; Fernandes, Garnacho, Zirkzee.
