TEAM NEWS
Jonny Evans returned to the fray after a month out against Chelsea, as he was brought on as a late substitute for Alejandro Garnacho.
Raphael Varane missed the meeting with a sore back, while the game came too early for Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount, who have been sidelined since the November international break.
Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez are not expected to return this side of Christmas, while Amad is working his way back to full fitness after knee surgery during the summer.
Bournemouth are set to be without key midfielders Tyler Adams (thigh) and Alex Scott (knee), plus defenders Lloyd Kelly (hamstring), Max Aarons (thigh) and Ryan Fredericks (heel).
Andoni Iraola is hoping Hamed Traore can recover from the illness which precluded him from being involved in Wednesday's impressive 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.
How fans rated Amrabat's Chelsea display
Article‘He was outstanding’ and ‘it was his best United performance’ are just two of the post-match comments.
LAST SEASON AGAINST THE CHERRIES
United defeated Bournemouth twice in the Premier League last term; a 3-0 triumph at Old Trafford and a 1-0 victory on the south coast.
In the first game, Casemiro opened the scoring with a powerful header, before Luke Shaw doubled the lead by finishing off a slick back-to-front move. Marcus Rashford added further gloss to the win, but it was in the reverse fixture where Casemiro stole the headlines.
In the summer sun, the Brazilian pulled off a spectacular acrobatic effort that wouldn't have looked out of place on the sandy beaches of his homeland to seal a narrow victory for the Reds.
