Everything you need to know on the latest Manchester United injury news ahead of Bournemouth in the Premier League...
Matthijs de Ligt (Defender): Missed United's last two games against West Ham and Wolves with a minor knock. He was not present in team training at Carrington on Thursday morning, placing further doubt on whether he will be ready for the visit of Bournemouth.
Potential return: Ruben Amorim is set to clarify the defender's availability in his pre-match press conference, but it was initially hoped he would be ready for Wolves. After that failed to come to fruition, the manager refused to put an exact timeframe on his recovery.
Benjamin Sesko (Forward): Has been sidelined for the last four games with a knee injury sustained against Tottenham back in November. He was also absent from training on Thursday morning.
Potential return: The visit of Bournemouth was initially earmarked as a realistic return date. Amorim will clarify the striker's availability when he addresses the media ahead of the game.
Harry Maguire (Defender): In the same game against Tottenham, Maguire also sustained a thigh/hamstring injury and has been sidelined since. He was not in team training on Thursday ahead of the Bournemouth game.
Potential return: Later in December, potentially the trip to Aston Villa on December 21. Or, the visit of Newcastle United on Boxing Day.
