POTENTIAL MANCHESTER UNITED SQUAD TO FACE BOURNEMOUTH THIS WEEKEND


​A new era has dawned at Old Trafford with Jose Mourinho set to take charge of his first Premier League game with Manchester United after a huge spending spree in this summer's transfer window.

Here's how they could line up in their opening fixture:
GOALKEEPER

de Gea
David de Gea, the club's undisputed number one, will resume his role away at Bournemouth looking to provide us with yet more displays of his goalkeeping expertise.​
DEFENCE

Valencia
Blind
Bailly
Shaw
​The returning Luke Shaw should feature in the Premier League for the first time since his horrific leg break.

Antonio Valenica should get the nod on the opposing flank, while Daley Blind and Eric Bailly, the centre-back duo in the Community Shield, are likely to continue in the starting lineup in light of Chris Smalling's continued injury absence.
MIDFIELD

Schneiderlin
Fellaini
Lingard
Rooney
Martial
​Morgan Schneiderlin and Marouane Fellaini are likely to continue in the defensive role in Jose Mourinho's midfield, with club captain Wayne Rooney further forward just behind the striker.

Anthony Martial will be deployed out on the left, with Jesse Lingard continuing out on the right ahead of new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan after scoring in the Community Shield. Paul Pogba is suspended.
FORWARDS

Ibrahimovic
​For the moment, only one man is going to feature in the lead striking role for United, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede recorded his first competitive goal for the club against Leicester and will be itching to start his Premier League career with a bang. Marcus Rashford will no doubt, make an appearance from the bench once again.
