Manchester United host Bournemouth at Old Trafford in a pivotal Super Sunday Premier League clash on October 25, live on Sky Sports.
Man Utd entered the weekend 13th in the Premier League table and on a seven-game winless run in all competitions which has ramped up the pressure on Michael Carrick.
United were thrashed 4-1 by Como in the Champions League in midweek, prompting Bruno Fernandes to criticise Carrick's tactics a week after Lisandro Martinez had criticised the club's hierarchy.

Man Utd vs Bournemouth odds and score prediction
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...
Manchester United are strong favourites to win this game. Let that sink in for a moment.
Seven points from their opening seven Premier League games represents their worst start to a top-flight season in 37 years, while they have gone seven matches without a win in all competitions, losing four and drawing three. This is a team struggling to convince anyone that they have the answers, yet the market still wants us to believe they should be trusted to get the job done.
I'm not buying it.
There is a worrying lack of togetherness about United. Bruno Fernandes' body language has been telling and his post-match comments following the Como game did little to suggest a group pulling in the same direction.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have every reason to travel to Old Trafford believing they can get something. They are unbeaten in their last six meetings with United and have scored 15 goals across those games.
The draw no bet market offers a useful safety net as our stake is returned if the game finishes level while a Bournemouth win lands at 11/8 with Sky Bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-3
