Anthony Martial to start? – Predicted 4-3-3 Manchester United line-up to face Bournemouth

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made it two wins from two at Manchester United with a commanding 3-1 win over Huddersfield.

The Red Devils could have scored more against the relegation-threatened side, but this was a decent United performance with Paul Pogba doing really well.

The interim manager faces a tough test of his credentials against Bournemouth, but the Cherries come into this game on the back of a 5-0 hammering from Tottenham.

There could be late fitness tests for Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial, and here is my predicted line-up for the Sunday clash.

Predicted Manchester United XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Manager: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

David de Gea (GK)

De Gea would want to keep a clean sheet but the more important thing is to get the three points on Sunday.

Ashley Young (RB)

The English defender didn’t start against Huddersfield but should replace Diogo Dalot against Bournemouth.

Victor Lindelof (CB)

United have some injury problems in central defence, and with Chris Smalling injured, we should see Lindelof start alongside Phil Jones.

Phil Jones (CB)

The Englishman has found his way back into the side and hopefully, he puts up a quality performance.

Luke Shaw (LB)

The left-back has been one of the better players for us this season, and he should stay in the team against the Cherries.

Nemanja Matic (CM)

The Serb scored in our win over the Terriers and should keep his place in the United starting XI.

Ander Herrera (CM)

Solskjaer might decide to rotate his team a bit and give Herrera a go in place of Fred.

Paul Pogba (CM)

We saw a much better Pogba against Huddersfield and the Frenchman needs to be at his best if we are to beat the Cherries.

Jesse Lingard (RW)

Lingard started our previous game and should stay in the side to face Eddie Howe’s men.

Marcus Rashford (ST)

Lukaku might not be risked until he is 100% fit, so we should see Rashford start as the striker on Sunday.

Anthony Martial (LW)

Juan Mata played in the previous game, but we could see Martial get the start if he clears the late fitness test.
