Latest Manchester United vs Bournemouth team news
December 15th is the mandatory deadline for clubs to allow players participating in the Africa Cup of Nations to return to their national teams. However, the trio of Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast), Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon), and Noussair Mazraoui (Morocco) are still not ruled out of playing in Monday's match.
Benjamin Sesko's situation is similar, despite having recently suffered from food poisoning following a knee injury. Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt (back) and Harry Maguire (hamstring) remain sidelined for Manchester United.
Nineteen-year-old Ayden Heaven made his second consecutive Premier League start in De Ligt's absence against Wolves. The former Arsenal player is likely to be given another opportunity on Monday if Lisandro Martinez is not ready to start.
On the Bournemouth side, manager Iraola was forced to substitute Marcos Senesi in the 62nd minute of last weekend's draw against Chelsea. However, the Spanish coach hopes the Argentinian defender only suffered cramps and will recover in time for the upcoming match.
Senesi's presence is particularly important given that defender Veljko Milosavljevic will be out for two to three months with a knee ligament injury, along with Ryan Christie (knee) and Ben-Gannon Doak (hamstring) who are also in treatment.
Lewis Cook will serve the final game of his three-match suspension on Monday night, while Tyler Adams returns from a yellow card suspension and will make a comeback in midfield.
Latest predicted lineups for MU vs Bournemouth

Bournemouth:
Petrovic; Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Brooks, Tavernier, Semenyo; Evanilson
Latest Manchester United vs Bournemouth football match prediction
When Jean-Ricner Bellegarde equalized for a struggling Wolves side at Molineux last weekend, the away fans probably feared the worst against a team on track to become the worst in Premier League history, but Bruno Fernandes and his teammates thought otherwise.
The Portuguese midfielder delivered a spectacular performance, inspiring the Red Devils to a resounding 4-1 victory against Rob Edwards' side. Bruno Fernandes scored two goals himself and assisted Mason Mount's goal, while Bryan Mbeumo also featured on the scoresheet in what could be his final appearance for the club in 2025.
Having lost only one of their last nine matches and earned seven points from a possible nine, Manchester United's decision to continue placing faith in Ruben Amorim is proving correct, as the former Sporting Lisbon manager led his team into the top six of the Premier League last weekend.
In their last nine matches, the Old Trafford side have earned 18 points, more than they earned in the previous 17 games combined, yet the Red Devils are still struggling to find consistency at the Theatre of Dreams.
After a run of four consecutive wins from August 30th to October 25th, Man United have now gone two consecutive home games without a victory. Notably, the team has also conceded at least one goal in 14 of their 15 Premier League matches so far in the 2025-26 season.
Bournemouth equaled Manchester United's record for clean sheets for the entire season with just one game in Round 15, when they earned a point against Club World Cup winners Chelsea. While the result wasn't disastrous, it extended their frustrating winless streak.
Since their 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the end of October, Bournemouth have failed to win any of their last six Premier League matches. Manager Andoni Iraola's team have only managed to secure two points out of a possible 18 in this forgettable run.
The slump, which saw the team once considered a top-four contender fall into the bottom half of the table, stems from a decline in attacking performance. The visitors risk failing to score in three consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since the 2022-23 season in Monday's game.
Once a nightmare for every Premier League defense, Antoine Semenyo – a highly sought-after player – has now gone seven consecutive games without scoring or assisting in England's top flight, possibly as a consequence of the constant transfer rumors surrounding him.
Semenyo's poor form coincided with Bournemouth's freefall in the league table. Despite this, The Cherries surprisingly beat Man United 3-0 at Old Trafford in both of the last two Premier League seasons, maintaining a four-match unbeaten run against the Red Devils in the competition.
