Ruben names United team to play Bournemouth

Ruben Amorim has named his Manchester United side to take on Bournemouth, in our second game of the Premier League Summer Series.

It's a clash between the two early frontrunners in the competition, with our 2-1 victory over West Ham United in New Jersey following hot on the heels of the Cherries' 3-0 win against Everton.

There are six alterations to the side that beat the Hammers, as Amad, Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu, Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro retain their places in the XI.

Tom Heaton replaces Altay Bayindir - who was the only player to feature for the full 90 minutes at the MetLife Stadium - in goal.

Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw look set to play alongside Yoro in the back three, with Matthijs de Ligt and Ayden Heaven making way.

Casemiro, Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount also come into the line-up, meaning Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte start the game on the bench, but Matheus Cunha is not in the matchday squad.

Amorim told broadcasters that the Brazilian was being rested, after feeling 'a bit of fatigue in the morning.'

United: Heaton; Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Dalot, Fernandes (c), Casemiro, Dorgu; Mount, Amad; Hojlund.

Subs: Bayindir, Mee, De Ligt, Fredricson, Heaven, Leon, Munro, Collyer, Fletcher, Kone, Mainoo, Ugarte, Mantato, Obi, Williams.
