Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has officially unveiled his starting XI for today’s Premier League game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
The United manager is under mounting pressure after a disastrous start to the 2026-27 campaign, with his position increasingly coming under scrutiny.
Another disappointing result or lacklustre performance could prove the final straw, leaving INEOS with a major decision to make about the 45-year-old’s future.
Carrick has made four changes to the side that suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Como in their previous outing.
Senne Lammens retains his place between the posts, but the Belgian goalkeeper is still waiting to register his first clean sheet of the campaign.
Diogo Dalot keeps his place at right-back despite his dismal display against Como, while Ayden Heaven returns after recovering from illness and is set to start on the opposite flank.
Leny Yoro is reinstated in the XI after he missed the previous encounter due to suspension.
The Frenchman partners Harry Maguire at centre-back, with the experienced defender making his third consecutive start.
Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba form the midfield double pivot, while Mason Mount is handed a starting role on the left wing.
Youri Tielemans is yet again given the opportunity to play in the number 10 position, with club captain Bruno Fernandes dropping to the bench.
Fernandes has been in poor form but his post-match comments after the defeat to Como have forced Carrick to make the big call.
Amad Diallo returns to the starting XI and will play in his favoured right-wing position, with Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack.
Confirmed Man United line-up (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven; Andrey Santos, Carlos Baleba; Youri Tielemans, Amad Diallo, Mason Mount; Bryan Mbeumo
