Team News: Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw handed Manchester United starts

Wayne Rooney and Luke Shaw are surprise inclusions in Manchester United's starting lineup for the visit of Bournemouth to Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney has been handed a rare start by Jose Mourinho in one of four changes for Manchester United's Premier League meeting with Bournemouth.

The 31-year-old, heavily linked with a summer exit, skippers the Red Devils at Old Trafford on his first top-flight start since December.

Phil Jones and Michael Carrick have also overcome injury problems to feature from the off, the former of whom has sat out the last month, while Luke Shaw is another to be given a chance - his first league appearance since October.

Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard are the players to make way from last weekend's 3-2 win over Southampton in the EFL Cup final, as the hosts look to climb into the top four.

The Cherries, who are expected to be without boss Eddie Howe this afternoon due to illness, they make just the one alteration from last time out - Benik Afobe coming in for Jack Wilshere.

Bournemouth have Jordon Ibe among their subs following his recent knee injury layoff, but captain Simon Francis is still nursing a hamstring injury and misses out.

The visitors have lost all five previous meetings at Old Trafford, conceding 15 and scoring just one during that time.

Manchester United: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Shaw, Carrick, Pogba, Mata, Rooney, Martial, Zlatan
Subs: Romero ,Blind, Smalling, Fellaini, Herrera, Lingard, Rashford

Bournemouth: Boruc, Daniels, Smith, Cook, Mings, Arter, King, Fraser, Surman, Pugh, Afobe
Subs: Alsop, Cargill, Smith, Gosling, Ibe, Wilshere, Gradel
