Manchester United will face Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Monday night in the Premier League gameweek16. This match will potentially be the last match for the AFCON trio of Bryan Mbuemo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui.
During a few previous matches, Manchester United were without several key players like Harry Maguire, Benjamin Sesko, and even Matthijs De Ligt who have been injured.
According to The Sun, the AFCON trio were spotted during team training and it could indicate that they will take part in Monday’s game. It is certainly a huge boost for Manchester United as Amad Diallo is the attacking threat in the right wide area, and Bryan Mbuemo is currently the top goal scorer for The Red Devils.
If De Ligt is still injured for the game against Bournemouth, Ayden Heaven will likely be in the starting line up with Martinez still looking to be fully fit. The front three will likely be the same with Mount and Mbuemo on the two no. 10 with Cunha up top.
Manchester United Injury News
Good news is coming from Benjamin Sesko as he was seen to be training on his own after his knee injury. It is an indication that he could be back to the team in a short time, and potentially will be ready to play when Mbuemo leaves the team.
As for Harry Maguire and De Ligt, they were not seen at all during the training. De Ligt was previously reported to have a small knock before the West Ham game, but he was also absent during the Wolves game with Ruben Amorim refusing to tell when he would be back.
Amorim said:
“I don’t know, sometimes you have an idea then you have to see day by day. I’m not going to say when he is coming back.”
De Ligt has been playing all game this season before his recent injury and it could be a big hit for Manchester United if he is injured for longer.

Other young academy players spotted are Tyler Fredricson and Ayden Heaven. Both have debuted with the senior team since last season, with Heaven being in the starting line up for games against West Ham and Wolves replacing injured De Ligt.
