Man Utd trio to miss Bournemouth game due to AFCON duty?

Manchester United trio Amad Diallo, Byran Mbeumo and Noussair Mazraoui could be doubtful to face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Monday night.

The Red Devils are presently sixth in the standings with 25 points, just one adrift of the final Champions League spot. They have the opportunity to break into the top four with a victory over the Cherries.

Ahead of the encounter, there is a big concern for United. As per FIFA, clubs have to mandatorily release players participating in the Africa Cup of Nations on the 15th of December.

United are due to host the Cherries on the same date and it is unclear whether Amad, Mbeumo and Mazraoui will be available.

If Amad is unavailable, Diogo Dalot could move to the right wing-back slot, with Patrick Dorgu operating from the opposite position.

Mbeumo's absence could mean Matheus Cunha dropping into the no.10 role alongside Mason Mount. Joshua Zirkzee could lead the line.

Mazraoui's unavailability could pave the way for Leny Yoro to start on the right side of the back three for the Mancunian giants.
