Erik ten Hag could give Manchester United fans what they want vs Bournemouth

Though Manchester United's form has been slightly patchy in recent weeks, you would argue that the vast majority of Erik ten Hag's starting XI picks itself at the moment.

Last Saturday's 2-0 win over Wolves at Old Trafford halted a two-match losing run at the ideal time to inject fresh blood into a stuttering run for the top four. United got the job done against Julen Lopetegui's side with a commanding and professional performance, sealed thanks to goals from Anthony Martial and Alejandro Garnacho either side of half-time.

Despite the roaring pace of Liverpool's late dash for the Champions League places, United remain in charge of their own destiny and know that six points from their last three games will guarantee them a top-four spot. Though nothing is a guarantee in football, certainly at this stage of the season, it is the fact that two of the Reds' last three matches are at home that is easing United's supporters' nerves.
