Confirmed Man United XI vs AFC Bournemouth: Marcus Rashford and Matthijs de Ligt absent again

Marcus Rashford and Matthijs de Ligt are both once again missing from the Manchester United squad as they prepare to face Bournemouth this afternoon.

Rashford looks to be on his way out of the club after an ill-considered interview in which he said he was ready for a new challenge.

De Ligt was ill for the last match against Spurs on Thursday so it is likely he has not recovered in time.

Mason Mount is also out after another injury setback that will keep him on the sidelines for several weeks. Luke Shaw is still injured.

Andre Onana will be in goal.

The back three will be Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui. Lisandro Martinez has lost his place after a poor performance against Spurs, while Victor Lindelof picked up an injury in that game. His place in the squad is taken by midfielder Toby Collyer.

Amad and Diogo Dalot are the wing backs.

Kobbie Mainoo comes into the midfield.

Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Zirkzee also start.
