Manchester United v Bournemouth live: Premier League team news and line-ups as well as Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo latest

Andoni Iraola on Bournemouth’s Old Trafford record
Andoni Iraola loves playing at Old Trafford but is not reading much into Bournemouth’s 3-0 wins on their previous two trips to Manchester United.
Bournemouth secured their first-ever victory at Old Trafford in December 2023 and followed that 3-0 triumph with a win by the same scoreline a year later.
Iraola oversaw both wins and said: “I love to play at Old Trafford, to coach in this case (at) what I think is one of the best stadiums in the world.
“The problem is you face normally a top team when you play there and very good players. But I think the atmosphere there is really nice and I’m sure my players will appreciate it.
“But they will have to know that in those stadiums you have to be at a certain level that is very high and I hope we are.
“We have good precedents but also I think we are playing this season against a team that is in a really good run.”

What’s going on at Bournemouth?
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.

Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo set to be available
Manchester United are set to have both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo available in a boost to Ruben Amorim.
Mbeumo will be involved when Cameroon play their opening Africa Cup of Nations game against Gabon on December 24, the same day Diallo could face Mozambique with the Ivory Coast.
Monday is the day for Premier League teams to release players for the Africa Cup of Nations and Ruben Amorim said on Friday that United were still in talks with the respective countries.

What is the team news?
Ruben Amorim appeared uncertain on Friday how much longer he would have Amad Diallo, Noussair Mazraoui and Bryan Mbeumo available, but the trio appear set to feature before departing to the Africa Cup of Nations. Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire remain absent while Benjamin Sesko has been dealing with illness.
Marcos Senesi could be fit to feature for Bournemouth after suffering cramps during the draw with Chelsea. Lewis Cook is still suspended.

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.
