Luke Shaw has been handed his first Premier League appearance of the season for Manchester United‘s game with Bournemouth.

The left-back has had to make do with cup appearances so far this term but comes in in place of Ashley Young.

There had been speculation that Romelu Lukaku would be dropped amid a disappointing run of form but the striker retains his place ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Jose Mourinho has made various other changes though.

Scott McTominay, like Shaw, also gets his first Premier League appearance of the season, replacing Ander Herrera in midfield.

The only other change from the defeat to Man City is Marcus Rashford – who scored in that game – being replaced by Juan Mata.

Manchester United start the game trailing league leaders Man City by 11 points.
