Manchester United 5:2 Bournemouth

After last nights game, I don't see any reason to change it.

De Gea
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Pogba Matic Bruno
Greenwood Martial Rashford

Just keep doing what we are doing. Bournemouth are better than hat they have shown but they are low on confidence and if we can get in front early, their heads will drop and should claim another win.

No one needs to be dropped/rested after two 3-0 wins on the bounce. Realistically Bournemouth should be an easier game as they are not as good defensively as Sheffield United or Brighton. Normally I'd say they offer more in attack, but they've been very lacklustre going forward for a while now. If it clicks, they can definitely bag a goal or two on the counter with their attacking players, but I expect us to either keep the clean sheet of they might sneak one goal. We really should score at least three again, this is a big chance to close that goal difference on Leicester right down after our last two games. I'm going to say a 4-1 victory here, confidence is high.

If we want to catch up with Leicester's goal difference then this match surely is going to be our best chance of doing so

Nickosaur · Jul 1, 2020

We play a few more of the relegation battlers don't we. Really should be smashing some of these teams.

Mr Smith · Jul 1, 2020

Bournemouth are wank.

Rozay · Jul 1, 2020

Need to be coming out of this one with a 4 goal profit for the GD. These guys are going to stupidly try and go toe-to-toe with us, and that will be their downfall.

Vault Dweller · Jul 1, 2020

5-0, let's smash them.

Sassy Colin · Jul 1, 2020

Oh for fecks sake, we will brush them aside like so much flotsam & jetsam.

Don't tell people are worried about playing these?

Resch · Jul 1, 2020

6 games left and we need a minimum of 5 wins to reach a CL spot. So we have to win and we should score a lot. Never change a winning team, so play the same team, smash them early in the game and rest the key players after 60 minutes.

PoTMS · Jul 1, 2020

Really should be trashing this lot and closing down the GD between Leicester.

Dan_F · Jul 1, 2020

I think Williams deserves a start over Shaw, but apart from that I think we’re good to go. I’d normally say we could probably rest Matic, but having five subs doesn’t make it so essential.

Sandikan · Jul 1, 2020

Best lineup, boot them into touch and get some goal difference up, then 4-5 subs 65-75

Class of 63 · Jul 1, 2020

If Bournemouth play the same against United as they currently are against NewCastle we'll score 7 or 8

Yep definitely our best and maybe last chance to make something for our goal-difference.

Stevondo8 · Jul 1, 2020

Bit of a shambles Bournemouth, they’re going down without a trace

TheGodsInRed · Jul 1, 2020

3 points is the main thing obviously. But we could do with a big win to close that 9 goal gap on Leicester (we can blame Southampton for that).

I think we will get 5.

adamwest · Jul 1, 2020

I'd love to say it'll be a walk in the park, but the burns of those false dawns over the last 7 years are still present. Score early and we're ok. A win will do, thanks.

Nou_Camp99 · Jul 1, 2020

Goal difference could be vital. We need to go for 5 or 6 this weekend against Bournemouth who look like they have given up. Losing 4 1 at home to Newcastle who have nothing to play for is shocking.

DomesticTadpole · Jul 1, 2020

Put best team out and blitz them, then take best players off.

To put pressure on Leicester City you mean?

Yes and that a draw is good enough for us on the last matchday against them (if Wolverhampton are behind us).....we can surely win at least 5-0 against Bournemouth.......but i think the matches against Aston Villa, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham will be close.

JJ12 · Jul 1, 2020

Should be game over by half time

We have an easy run in - should be pumping them all.

Teja · Jul 1, 2020

I'd throw in McT instead of Matic to see how well things work. Matic can't play 2x a week, we need to preserve his legs a bit because he's proven that he has a lot left to give.

Maybe Williams over Shaw as well.

Yeah we should win against Aston Villa, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham (Because then we should be definitely above Leicester in the table before the last matchday) but like said above i don't think we will score much goals against them.

Dunno about that, just looked at the fixtures and i'd be surprised/disappointed if we didn't score at least three in all the remaining fixtures, including against Leicester City.

El Zoido · Jul 1, 2020

Nothing against Bournmouth but I hope we smash them to state our intent for a top four place.

ayushreddevil9 · Jul 1, 2020

Not getting carried away. This is the exact type of game where we have dropped points in the past. Winning the game will do.

Marcelinho87 · Jul 1, 2020

Luke Shaw the only player to play all games in our unbeaten run and in the longest run of playing since joining us and people want Williams in because??? Pashun?

Because he's a far better footballer, reads the game better, and most importantly more handsome, oh and he's a Manc to boot.

Okay that is the Manchester United spirit

If it was mid-season I wouldn't be so confident but every team we play in the remaining fixtures needs to win, and will have to go for it.

I will give you the Manc part... rest I ain't agreeing with.

AshRK · Jul 1, 2020

We have to finish off the game as soon as possible. Bournemouth will try to be extra cautious and will try to.keep 0-0. The longer it stays goalless the more comfortable they will get.

Bournemouth attacked Newcastle and made it easy for them... We'll have no such generosity.

Well obviously you're not going to agree, even though it's true.

I feel the same way. All these false dawns have took there toll on me.

I think we'll win, but not by loads like some think. I hope I'm wrong, though!

crossy1686 · Jul 1, 2020

Full strength please. Take Bruno and Pogba off at 5-0.

If I see Lingard or Pereria's name in the starting line up I'm going to lose my shit. We cannot afford to drop points here.

How is it true though? You say he is a FAR better player.. He's not. As I said Shaw has been a huge part of why our defence has looked so good recently and the only player to play the whole unbeaten run.

Gandalf Greyhame · Jul 1, 2020

Ole's first real test. I refuse to be optimistic given the number of times we've had our hopes raised only to be disappointed by a piss poor result and an injury.

One game at a time, I'll gladly take a narrow, flukey 1-0 win with OG on the scoresheet.
