- On Monday night, Manchester United confirmed their starting XI vs AFC Bournemouth, including defenders Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw and attackers Mbeumo and Cunha.
- Availability issues forced a change because United negotiated delayed release so Amad Diallo could feature before the Africa Cup of Nations, while Noussair Mazraoui was unavailable, prompting Leny Yoro's inclusion.
- Tactically, United set up with Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot as wing-backs, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as central midfielders, and Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount in attacking midfield behind Matheus Cunha.
- On the bench, Manchester United included Benjamin Sesko, substitute forward, after recovering from food poisoning, and Kobbie Mainoo, substitute midfielder, while academy youngster Shea Lacey was omitted.
- Beyond the XI, transfer talk and table implications include a key change from last week's Wolves victory as Bournemouth can rise to fifth under Ruben Amorim, with Mainoo linked to a 26m move.
