Manchester United XI vs Bournemouth: No Rashford - Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest

Marcus Rashford has again been left out of the Manchester United squad for their Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

Rashford was dropped for last weekend’s 2-1 win at Manchester City and was not in the squad for the Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham on Thursday.

Ruben Amorim is still without Matthijs de Ligt due to illness so Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez start in defence, with Victor Lindelof missing through injury.

Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia are the two full-backs, with Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo in midfield.

Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes are behind Joshua Zirkzee in attack, as Amorim makes six changes from the United side that lost 4-3 at Spurs.

Amorim insists it is his decision to leave Marcus Rashford out of the squad again.

“It is my decision,” he told Sky Sports. “And it always will be. It is selection. I want to see the best of my players and I try different things with different players, so that is my focus.”

Mason Mount has been ruled out for “several weeks” after sustaining an injury in the Manchester derby.

Man Utd confirmed XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Dalot, Malacia, Mainoo, Fernandes, Ugarte, Amad, Zirkzee

Injured: Mount, Shaw, De Ligt, Lindelof
