Early team news

Bournemouth are without influential midfielder Marcus Tavernier, who has been ruled out with a thigh injury, as has Luis Sinesterra. The Cherries’ right-back Ryan Fredericks is sidelined with a calf injury, while Antoine Semenyo, Chris Mepham and Tyler Adams are all due to be assessed before the team-sheets are handfed in.

With Raphael Varane joining Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez in the treatment room, Willy Kambwala will partner Harry Maguire in the heart of Manchester United’s defence. Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial are also sidelined, while Marcus Rashford is a major doubt for the visitors.

Without a win in three games, Manchester United travel to the Vitality Stadium hoping to avenge the hiding they suffered at the hands of Bournemouth at Old Trafford in December. It was a day the Guardian’s Jamie Jackson described Erik ten Hag’s side as “a rabble reminiscent of the United of the dog days under his predecessor, Ole Gunnar Solskjær”.

Bournemouth lost at Luton last time out but had won three on the spin previously against the Hatters, Everton and Crystal Palace. Andoni Iraola’s side sit in 12th place, comfortably mid-table and in no danger whatsoever of being relegated. Kick-off on the south coast is at 5.30pm but we’ll have team news and build-up in the meantime.
