Anthony Martial Man United news

Manchester United will take on AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday and Solskjaer will have the opportunity to make it three wins in a row.

United sacked Jose Mourinho after their 3-1 loss to Liverpool a fortnight ago but since then the Red Devils have had a complete transformation under their new caretaker boss.

During the past two games, Man United have managed to score eight goals and this Sunday too, the fans will be expecting a goal fest.

The team did miss the services of a couple of first-team regulars for the Boxing Day game but all of them have returned to full training during the week.




And if reports are to be believed then Solskjaer is set to make his first big tactical change since he took charge of Man United.

With the likes of Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku returning, Alexis Sanchez has also returned back from an injury and most expect that Ole will throw him into the mix straight away.

And this is where the attacking lineup could see a bit of tinkering.




Many believe that Sanchez will be handed his preferred role down the left flank which means that Anthony Martial might be playing as the No 9 against Bournemouth on Sunday.




This change means that Jesse Lingard could drop down to the bench while Marcus Rashford might have to be content with a role down the right flank.

While it is a no-brainer that both Marital and Rashford will start against the Cherries but it is Romelu Lukaku who divides opinion.

Some pundits feel that the Belgium international has done very little during the first half of the season and he should start the game on the bench.




But others feel Ole will try and play him up front and bring back the striker’s confidence just like he did with Anthony Martial and Rashford.
