Manchester United host Bournemouth in the Premier League and are set to have both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo before they depart for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Ruben Amorim admitted he he been “frustrated” to now know if he could call upon both players, with United’s home match against Bournemouth falling on the same day that Premier League teams must release their players to countries participating in Afcon later this month.
United will be looking to back up last week’s 4-1 win over Wolves and would go level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea with a win. After an excellent start to this season Bournemouth are winless in six but they have both of their last two trips to Old Trafford 3-0 under Andoni Iraola.

Good evening
Manchester United host Bournemouth in the Premier League looking to build momentum ahead of a busy period of festive fixtures.
Ruben Amorim’s side produced an impressive second-half performance to blow away Wolves last week and will hope to finish a tough year strongly to keep up their push for the European places.
It is a tricky trip to Aston Villa up next, though, and this could prove a difficult evening, too, despite Bournemouth’s recent struggles.
Andoni Iraola has overseen a run of six games without a win but the south-coast club have won 3-0 on their last two visits to Old Trafford.
