Anthony Martial is one of four changes made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the side that beat Huddersfield Town on Boxing Day as Manchester United prepare to host Bournemouth.

Two of the changes are in defence, with Ashley Young starting as the right-back, donning the armband once again for Manchester United. Eric Bailly returns as well, replacing Phil Jones as Victor Lindelof’s partner in the central defensive partnership.

Ander Herrera has replaced Fred, while Anthony Martial is also back, taking Juan Mata’s place in attack. The big news though, is that Romelu Lukaku is part of the matchday squad, starting on the bench against Bournemouth.
