Erik Ten Hag may be forced to select Willy Kambwala for just his third Premier League start with Manchester United’s defensive injuries piling up.

Centre-back’s Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans are both doubts for the trip to the south coast, while Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, and Luke Shaw are still out.

United may also be without Marcus Rashford after he was forced off against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The 26-year-old’s availability is unconfirmed, with Ten Hag stating at the weekend: “I’m not sure [how bad the injury is], but I don’t think it will be long term.”

After an abysmal first half, the Red Devils gained a respectable point against title-chasing Liverpool in their last outing.

But Champions League qualification is almost out of their grasp, with Tottenham and Aston Villa 11 points ahead with just seven games remaining.

United are instead competing with West Ham and Newcastle for the Europa League spots.

They will hope to avoid any further injury concerns against the Cherries, with an important FA Cup semi-final against Coventry the following week. The domestic trophy represents their only remaining chance of securing silverware this season.

Manchester United predicted XI: Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Kambwala, Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Mainoo, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund

Injured: Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial

Doubts: Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans
