Manchester United v Bournemouth LIVE: Score and updates as Huijsen heads Cherries in entrance at Old Trafford
Manchester United host Bournemouth in the Premier League with Marcus Rashford’s situation continuing to attract attention.
Ruben Amorim has once again made the decision to leave the England forward out of the squad, having done the same for last weekend’s Manchester derby and the chaotic midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Tottenham.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, travel to Old Trafford in form with Andoni Iraola’s Cherries looking to close in on the top four with victory.
“I think we are improving near the opponent box. We have some games that we are near the box but without real threat. You could see different things [against Tottenham],” Amorim pointed out ahead of the game. “You could see we can shoot, we are near the goal and you feel it, you really feel it. I think it is a good thing in our team.”

Bournemouth win a free-kick from almost exactly the same position they scored from, but they take this one short and the ball in is poor.
Moments after, Fernandes tries to slip a through ball to Zirkzee, who was almost 1-v-1, but Kepa races out of his area well to clear.
