Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will have to rotate his side as he prepares to take on Bournemouth.

Losing just one of their last nine matches and taking seven points from the last nine on offer, Amorim has turned United around over the past few months as fans start to warm to the Portuguese tactician.

Bournemouth arrive at Old Trafford having endured a difficult spell of four defeats and two draws in their last six Premier League matches in what should be a tough test for United who have several key players potentially missing. 

Benjamin Šeško has not played a minute for United since the 8th November, and Amorim confirmed he will be out for “few weeks” as United’s attack grows weaker. 

Cameroon’s Bryan Mbeumo, Morocco’s Mazraoui and Ivory Coast’s Amad also may not be available for one final club game before departing for AFCON, which starts on December 21st as Amorim remains secretive as to whether they can start. 

Defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are out injured as Ayden Heaven steps in to fill in at the back. Heaven made his second successive Premier League start in De Ligt's absence against Wolves as he grows in confidence in the side. 

Meanwhile, Bournemouth are set to be without four players including Lewis Cook who is suspended whilst Ryan Christie, Matai Akinmboni and Ben Doak are all injured.
