Ruben Amorim is set to recall a number of Manchester United regulars for Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Bournemouth.

Man Utd head to the Vitality Stadium on the back of successive Premier League defeats against Newcastle and Wolves. This means they start the weekend in 14th place, 10 points off the top half with five games remaining.

Without a league victory since beating Leicester before the international break, Amorim has stressed the importance of returning to winnings before their Europa League semi-final first leg showdown with Athletic Club next week.

"We need to have that feeling that every game is here is important," Amorim said in the pre match press conference. "And we have to win every game, because that is a feeling that's really important - not to lose.

"Of course, you can see the context. But I think we are going to face this game with the best team, because we had a full week to prepare, some of the players did not play against Wolverhampton, so sometimes, if you recover so much of the players, it is a bad thing.

"So I will try to manage everything to win this game and to prepare for the next one."

Man United’s strongest possible team for the Bournemouth game will not include Diogo Dalot as the defender is sidelined with a calf injury.

This absence could see Patrick Dorgu continue at right-wing back, just like he did against Wolves last week with youngster Harry Amass getting the nod on the opposite flank.

Elsewhere, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro should return to the back three at the expense of Victor Lindelof and Tyler Fredricson.

Casemiro for Christian Eriksen as Manuel Ugarte’s central midfield partner seems likely whilst Kobbie Mainoo is set to make way for captain Bruno Fernandes in the advanced role behind lone striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Predicted Manchester United XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dorgu, Ugarte, Casemiro, Amass; Garnacho, Fernandes; Hojlund

Injured: Dalot, Amad, Martinez, De Ligt, Heaven, Zirkzee, Collyer
