Man Utd vs Bournemouth team news

Manchester United fans will have to wait a little longer to see Bryan Mbeumo in action for the first time, with Amorim confirming the summer signing will not face the Cherries. The head coach told reporters: "Bryan is starting slowly. He is not going to play in the next one. We hope to have Bryan in the last game [against Everton]. He's training now, so we'll see."

Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee missed the win over West Ham, wtih the former sidelined with a knock and the latter recovering from a "small issue". Goalkeeper Andre Onana has returned to training but will not feature during the tour.

Bournemouth have a fully fit squad together Stateside.

Man Utd vs Bournemouth prediction

It is a fool’s errand to make predictions for these pre-season games - after all, the result is secondary - but Manchester United have played two games so far this summer without yet showing much improvement from last season.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, have scored plenty across three pre-season fixtures so far, including a 3-0 win over Everton last time out, suggesting they are clicking slightly better as the new Premier League approaches.

Bournemouth to win, 3-2.
