MANCHESTER United will be hoping to bounce back from their derby day defeat with a victory over Bournemouth on Wednesday Night.

Manchester United lost 2-1 at Old Trafford to Manchester City on Sunday and now find themselves 11 points behind their rivals in the Premier League title race.

Much of the speculation for the game is surrounding Romelu Lukaku for his performance.

Following a disappointing display in the derby there have been calls for the Belgian to be dropped. 

Both City goals were a result of errant clearances by United’s number nine.

A striker could be forgiven for his defensive contributions but the Belgians big miss at the other end is altogether much harder for United fans to stomach.

Bournemouth are currently unbeaten in six games and find themselves in 14th in the table.
