"Manchester United are keeping the squad for the match against Bournemouth a secret for as long as possible, with key members potentially not featuring due to international commitments. Bryan Mbuemo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are all set to head to the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on 21 December. FIFA has set a deadline on 15 December (today) for teams to release their players for the tournament, and it could leave Manchester United six players short against Bournemouth."
"On Friday, in his pre-match press conference, Ruben Amorim said: "I expect today [Friday] to have a decision or maybe tomorrow, but we are waiting until the last moment to have all the players available - to choose the best team to start the game." It has not yet been disclosed if the players have left for the tournament or if they will feature against Bournemouth in the Monday Night Football."
