Man Utd vs Bournemouth LIVE SCORE: Amorim looks to return to winning ways in tough Cherries clash – updates

  • No Rashford

    Well as mentioned, there's no Marcus Rashford in today's squad for a third successive game under Ruben Amorim.

    I suppose it's not a huge surprise.

    The England international, 27, did give an interview in which he said that he was "ready for a new challenge" with journalist Henry Winter on X.

    Manager Amorim then said that the club are "better" with Rashford - but this departure is looking more and more likely.

  • Starting XI

    And here's today's line-ups, folks. No huge surprise to see Marcus Rashford not involved at all in today's game against Bournemouth.

    Manchester United XI: Onana, Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Malacia, Diallo, Zirkzee, Fernandes.

    Subs: Bayindir, Evans, Yoro, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Antony, Garnacho, Hojlund.

    Bournemouth XI: Kepa, Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez, Adams, Christie, Semenyo, Kluivert, Outtara, Evanilson.

    Subs: Travers, Cook, Brooks, Hill, Unal, Billing, Aarons, Winterburn, Kinsey.

    Mad that Nigel Winterburn is on the bench for the Cherries aged 61. Oh... it's Ben Winterburn. False alarm.

    Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United vs Bournemouth from Old Trafford.

    The games continue to come thick and fast during the festive period, and for the Red Devils it's their last chance to climb into the top half before Christmas.

    It's also a chance for them to win consecutive Premier League games for the first time in this campaign.

    As for Bournemouth, well it's all sunshine and roses (is that an expression?) for them with only Liverpool, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest having earned more points across the past 10 matches.

    Should be a cracker this one.
