Red Devils smarting from Carabao Cup defeat
Manchester United are looking to bounce back from Thursday night’s dramatic defeat when they host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim’s side were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the quarter-final stage following a 4-3 loss at Tottenham, fighting back to 3-2 before eventually both conceding and scoring late goals.
They did, however, beat Manchester City 2-1 in the League last time out in yet more drama. United sit 14th in the Premier League table but could move level on points with the Cherries in the top six with three points.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, warmed up for this one with a 1-1 draw against West Ham on Monday night.

Marcus Rashford has been left out of the squad for the last two games and it would appear to be unlikely the forward is selected again anytime soon, having confirmed he wishes to leave. Amorim hinted his exile would continue when speaking after the Spurs game.
