Manchester United are back in Premier League action this weekend as they host AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils will be looking to bounce back from their midweek cup defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. The loss saw them fall out of the Carabao Cup at the quarter-final stage of the competition.
For Ruben Amorim and his squad, there is no time to dwell with the busy festive fixture list upon us. It starts with the visit of Bournemouth on Sunday (2pm kick-off).
Ahead of the game, the United boss has a few decisions to make over his squad. Concentration will be on if forward Marcus Rashford will be included, after being left out of the squad completely for the last two games, despite being available for selection.
Winger Alejandro Garnacho was also left out of the squad for last week’s Manchester derby win, but he was back on the bench for the midweek clash against Tottenham and played the final 20 minutes of the match.
There’s three players who Amorim is unlikely to be able to call upon. Defender Victor Lindelof was forced off the pitch against Spurs due to injury, making him a major doubt for this weekend’s fixtures, while Luke Shaw is recovering from his injury set-back.
Mason Mount is not expected to be available after picking up an injury during the Manchester derby last weekend. Here’s a look at all the options expected to be available against Bournemouth.
Goalkeepers: Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton
Defenders: Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, Jonny Evans, Harry Amass
Midfielders: Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer, Daniel Gore
