Man Utd XI vs Bournemouth: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

Three key Manchester United players face a battle to be fit for Saturday's Premier League clash at Bournemouth.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Friday that Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof are injury doubts for the trip to the south coast after picking up knocks during the 2-1 Carabao Cup win at Chelsea on Wednesday night.

"It's still early," the Norwegian told reporters. "Hopefully we can get them back on the pitch tomorrow.

"They had some treatment yesterday, a little more treatment today, a light session and hopefully they're ready. I can't exactly tell you now."

With Paul Pogba out until December, Solskjaer can ill-afford any more key players to be missing as United go in search of a fourth successive away win.

The Red Devils had gone 11 matches without a win away from home up until last week, but a 1-0 Europa League victory at Partizan Belgrade was followed up with an encouraging 3-1 Premier League win at Norwich City.

A fine 2-1 Carabao Cup win at Stamford Bridge followed, but United may well be without Rashford, who scored a penalty and a stunning free-kick in west London.

Solskjaer does not expect Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matic or Axel Tuanzebe back before the international break: that means Ashley Young should return at left-back despite impressive performances from Brandon Williams.

Matic's absence should see Fred and Scott McTominay continue in midfield, while Andreas Pereira will likely return after Jesse Lingard failed to impress against Chelsea.

Anthony Martial was rested at the Bridge and will surely start, especially if Rashford is absent.

Man Utd predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Young; Fred, McTominay; James, Pereira, Rashford; Martial
