Manchester United manager Michael Carrick must make a big decision upfront when the Red Devils host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Mancunian giants have had a dreadful start to the new campaign and recently went winless for the seventh-game running after a heavy 4-1 Champions League loss at Como.
Hence, the pressure is right on Carrick, and there is intense speculation that he could be sacked if the club are unable to beat the Cherries with home advantage this weekend.
Ahead of the game, we believe the English tactician must make a shrewd decision upfront by playing Joshua Zirkzee as the centre-forward.
The Dutchman has barely featured for the Red Devils this campaign and has made all of his appearances as a substitute under Carrick.
However, he showed the importance of playing a genuine number nine with his late consolation goal against Como on the road last night.
Zirkzee deserves to lead the line after his fine cameo.
