Erik ten Hag has controversial choice to make between his favourite Manchester United players

Manchester United return to action at Bournemouth this evening in what is another crunch game. They all are at the minute, it seems.

After the stirring FA Cup win over Liverpool at Old Trafford a month ago, United had hoped to kick on. However, a fortunate draw against Brentford followed, then defeat at the hands of Chelsea left the Champions League hopes in the balance. And while a spirited 2-2 draw against Liverpool, this time in the league, rescued some hope it still means the chances of qualifying for Europe's premier competition are hanging by a thread.

A win this evening is an absolute must. Here's five things to look out for ahead of the Vitality Stadium encounter.

Marcus Rashford was substituted due to injury in the second half of Manchester United's 2-2 draw against Liverpool but he's set to be available for selection against Bournemouth.

"Rashy trained yesterday, so how he recovered from it today, we have another training today and then we will make a decision on it," said Erik ten Hag at his press conference.

Rashford returned to the starting team against Liverpool and Ten Hag suggested it was the 'game for him', however, he faded after making a promising start to the game.

Antony replaced Rashford just after the hour mark, which meant Alejandro Garnacho switched sides, and the Brazilian was able to build on his display at Stamford Bridge.

He made an impact from the bench and most fans would prefer him to start with Garnacho on the left against Bournemouth, which would mean Rashford wouldn't make the XI.
