Man United v Bournemouth live: Hosts set for Mbeumo and Amad boost ahead of Premier League clash

Amorim impressed with 'smart and technical' Mount
Manchester United host Bournemouth in the Premier League and are set to have both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo available before they depart for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Ruben Amorim admitted he he been “frustrated” to not 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 .
Bournemouth are winless in six Premier league matches, having slipped to 15th in the table after picking up just two points in that spell.
The last time they endured such a winless run was in the 2023-24 campaign and it comes after Andoni Iraola’s side had much such a promising start.
Bournemouth’s run includes blowing a two-goal lead against Sunderland, losing 4-0 to third-place Aston Villa and drawing 0-0 with fourth-place Chelsea last weekend.
