- On Friday, March 20, 2026, Manchester United travels to face AFC Bournemouth with Lisandro Martinez expected to return from a minor injury after missing four matches.

- Manager Michael Carrick remains confident Noussair Mazraoui will feature despite missing Wednesday's training due to illness, while Bryan Mbeumo is expected available following his weekend injury scare.
- Carrick has guided United to third place during his two months in charge, and victory on Friday would further tighten their grip on Champions League qualification.
- Sir Jim Ratcliffe pointed to the appointment of Stephen Torpey as evidence of structural change after noting the academy had "slipped" in October.
