Manchester United face Bournemouth on Sunday at Old Trafford in a Premier League fixture manager Michael Carrick hopes will mark a turning point. United sit 13th in the table without a win in seven matches across all competitions, having lost to Manchester City, Brighton, Atletico Madrid and Como while drawing with Fulham, Tottenham and Leeds. Carrick addressed the team's struggles in his pre-match press conference, emphasizing the need to respect the club's standards and eliminate complacency.
Bournemouth arrive off a strong Europa League performance, defeating AC Milan 3-0 on Thursday at home. The visitors sit outside the bottom three after securing their first Premier League win of the season against Sunderland, though they remain inconsistent in domestic competition. Manager Marco Rose's side has also won against Sturm Graz and Real Sociedad in European play.
Carrick will have center backs Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven available after their recent absences. Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford are fitness doubts ahead of kickoff at 10am ET on Sunday.
