Pundit Predictions: Who starts v Bournemouth?

Saturday 09 December 2023 11:45

Manchester United will be bidding to make it two home wins in just four days later today, as we take on Bournemouth at the Theatre of Dreams.

Erik ten Hag's side will be buoyed following our recent victory over Chelsea in midweek, with midfielder Scott McTominay notching twice in our success over the Blues.

The Cherries are the next task standing in the way, as United look to continue our forward momentum, with their some selection headaches facing the boss ahead of our 15:00 GMT kick-off.

But fear not, as two former Reds have launched their predictions on how they think our clash with Andoni Iraola's side is set to go down at Old Trafford...
