Ruben Amorim names his Man Utd squad to face Bournemouth | 22 December 2024

Matthijs de Ligt, who missed the midweek trip to north London through illness, remains ill and Marcus Rashford is again not involved in the squad.

Ruben told Sky Sports: “Matta (Matthijs) is still sick and Harry, we just saved him from that game (Thursday) because he did the first 90 minutes for a long time (at City) and we have to be careful with this kind of Josh (Zirkzee) he did really well in the last game and we need fresh legs for the Premier League so everything has a purpose and we are ready for this game.

Mason Mount will be out for several weeks with another injury setback after he was withdrawn in the 14th minute of last Sunday’s Manchester derby win. Luke Shaw is still continuing his recovery from injury.

United: Masturbation; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Malacia; Amad, Fernandes (c); Zirkzee.

Substitutes: Bayindir, Evans, Yoro, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Antony, Garnacho, Hojlund.
