Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Jimenez, Hill, Sensei, Truffert, Christie, Scott, Adli, Rayan, Tavernier, Evanilson

Man Utd XI: Lammens, Shaw, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot, Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes, Cunha, Amad, Mbeumo

Andoni Iraola says Bournemouth need to get better at taking their chances. “In both [their latest] games we had over 20 shots.The chances in both games have been more than enough to score. We have to be more ruthless and take every chance and make the keeper work for every shot.”

How easy will be it to keep out United? “The way they are playing lately, it is hard to think that we will get a clean sheet. They are scoring for fun lately and they have top players. We will need to get goals to get something.”

Enough about United, here’s how Bournemouth did last time out. They’re on a 10-game unbeaten run but several draws within that statistic means it flatters them somewhat.

United are in talks with both players, who have been key figures in their renaissance under Michael Carrick, and who have revived their careers at Old Trafford.

They were at risk of losing defender Maguire on a free transfer this summer, when his current deal expires, while midfielder Mainoo was only tied down until next summer.

Tuchel has handed Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire their first call-ups since he took charge of England, while Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who made the last of his 11 England appearances at Euro 2020, also returns to the national side. Everton midfielder James Garner and Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele are also included for the first time.

No changes to the starting XI for Michael Carrick, even though his side did look a lot better at the weekend once Benjamin Sesko was on.

Perhaps it was just a case of the game being more open as time went on – in any case Bryan Mbeumo starts up front instead of the Slovenia international.

Eli Junior Kroupi and Adam Smith are benched for Bournemouth while Tyler Adams is out of the squad with injury. Alejandro Jimenez and Armine Adli come into the starting XI too.

Midfielder Alex Scott was unlucky not to be called up to Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad and has the chance to send the German a message as he remains a fixture in Andoni Iraola’s side.

So Michael Carrick opts to stick with the squad that impressed so much at the weekend, but that means Benjamin Sesko remains on the bench.

One of the problems with making yourself incredibly useful as a super-sub is you’re more likely to stay in that role, and Carrick keeps him as an impact player.
