Erik ten Hag has some fitness decisions to make when his Manchester United side travel to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils are still looking to sure up a top four in the last two games and the Champions League qualification that goes with it.

However, the Dutchman is without some key first team stars for the trip to the Vitality Stadium. Here's the side he may opt for.

GK: David de Gea - Could still share the Golden Glove but only needs another shutout against one of Bournemouth, Chelsea and Fulham to claim it outright.

RB: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Sharing minutes with Diogo Dalot but has undoubtedly been more switched on towards the end of the season.

CB: Raphael Varane - Made his return against Wolves, keeping out Diego Costa and Matheus Cunha.

CB: Victor Lindelof - Coming out of the season with some credit, filling in for the injured Lisandro Martinez. Could even hang around next season, given he's now above Harry Maguire in the pecking order.

LB: Luke Shaw - Seems to be getting better and better, especially at beating his teammates in training exercises at Carrington.

CM: Casemiro - Received the backing of Robbie Savage to be named United's Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year winner, but will face plenty of competition for that award.

CM: Christian Eriksen - Playing deeper so his one league goal is understandable but has also managed seven assists.

RW: Antony - Found end product to set up Anthony Martial last time out. Now has to back it up with consistency.

AM: Bruno Fernandes - Was United's leading light against Wolves, assisting Alejandro Garnacho's late strike. Shooting boots weren't on, mind, hitting the target with two of seven efforts.

LW: Jadon Sancho - Still yet to deliver the consistent form which United forked out for in 2021, though he is still only 23.

ST: Marcus Rashford - Martial was a little average against Wolves and could be dropped in a straight swap for Rashford if the Englishman is fully fit. Made the shortlist for the 2022/23 EA SPORTS FIFA Player of the Season award.
