Games continue to come thick and fast for Manchester United and their Premier League rivals as they prepare to take on AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Tuesday night (8pm).

Lisandro Martinez has returned to the club following his World Cup heroics with Argentina and that means United are up to full strength at centre-back following one or two absences in that area. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are also available for selection after illness.

United were handed a boost when Diogo Dalot (hamstring) trained at Carrington but it was too soon for a return at Molineux. Ten Hag is still without Jadon Sancho while a date for his return has not yet been set.

As for Bournemouth, meanwhile, there are concerns over Ryan Fredericks and Junior Stanislas (knocks), while Neto (thigh) and David Brooks (thigh) are doubts. Marcus Tavernier (thigh) could return.
