Bournemouth vs. Man United lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news, injuries: Amorim to rotate again?

With their main attention still on the Europa League, Manchester United look to finish strong in the Premier League as they travel to meet Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Red Devils remain alive in the semifinals of their European campaign, set for the first leg against Athletic Club next week.

Considering the reward for potentially winning that competition, Europe will be Ruben Amorim's main priority, but they still will want to finish strong in league play. Sitting 14th in the Premier League table and without a win in their last four, United could suffer further harm if they continue to drop results in domestic competition.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, sit eighth in the table but are eight points behind seventh-placed Aston Villa, which likely sees them on the outside of the chase for European places.

The Sporting News runs through the latest team news and injury updates for both sides as the match draws nearer.

Bournemouth vs. Man United lineups, predicted starting 11, team news

Justin Kluivert returned from injury last time out, and they could get Luis Sinisterra back in this match too as the Cherries continue to get healthy. Sinisterra has been out for quite a bit and could need some time to ramp up his full  match fitness.

That would leave just the two long-term absentees Enes Unal and Ryan Christie on the sidelines, with the rest of the squad potentially available for selection.

Bournemouth predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Kepa (GK) — Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez — Scott, Adams — Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier — Evanilson.

Injured: Sinisterra (hamstring, doubt), Unal (ACL), Christie (groin).
Suspended: None.

If Bruno Fernandes decides to rotate the squad like he did last time out in the Premier League, it could mean multiple fringe players in the XI for this match. Young players like Tyler Fredricson and Harry Amass could be in line for more playing time, as both stood out in the recent defeat to Wolves.

It remains to be seen how much regular starters like Bruno Fernandes will be involved, knowing big European matches loom in just a few days' time.

Manchester United are hoping to have defender Matthijs de Ligt back soon from his foot injury, and while that may not come here, they're expecting to have the Dutchman on the field for the Europa League semifinals. They are still without long-term absentees Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez, and Joshua Zirkzee, while Toby Collyer is still waiting to make his return.

Man United predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui — Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu — Fernandes, Garnacho — Hojlund.

Injured: de Ligt (ankle, doubt), Diallo (ankle), L. Martinez (ACL), Zirkzee (hamstring), Collyer (knock).
Suspended: None.
