Martial returns for United as Fraser is benched again

The final match of Gameweek 20 takes place at Old Trafford this afternoon, as Manchester United take on Bournemouth. Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Anthony Martial has recovered from illness to reclaim his place on the left of United’s front three, while Paul Pogba makes his third successive start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Martial takes the place of Juan Mata, while Solskjaer has made three other alterations to the side that beat Huddersfield Town 3-1 on Boxing Day.

Ashley Young replaces right-back Diego Dalot, Eric Bailly ousts Phil Jones at centre-half and Ander Herrera is in for Fred in midfield.

Having been beaten 5-0 by Spurs in Gameweek 19, Eddie Howe has made three changes to his side and is deploying a wing-back system for the trip to Manchester.

Diego Rico and Jordon Ibe come into the side on the flanks, with Joshua King joining Callum Wilson in attack.

Ryan Fraser is benched for the second time in three Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Jefferson Lerma – who sits on nine yellow cards – and the injured Simon Francis are the other two players dropping out.

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): De Gea; Young, Lindelöf, Bailly, Shaw; Ander Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Bournemouth XI (3-5-2): Begovic; Cook, Ake, Daniels; Ibe, Stanislas, Brooks, Surman, Rico; Wilson, King.
