Manchester United intend to keep the availability of Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui confidential ahead of Monday\u2019s visit by Bournemouth, according to reports. The club will reportedly delay any confirmation until as late as permitted to preserve a tactical advantage.<\/p>\n
Amorim addressed the situation on Friday, saying: “We are still in conversations with national teams,” as he indicated he expected clarity “in the 24 hours that followed.” The Manchester Evening News state United will keep the decision behind closed doors in an attempt to surprise Monday\u2019s opponents.<\/p>\n
United are under no obligation to reveal the availability of the trio until the deadline of 75 minutes before kick-off, and the club are expected to take advantage of every possible second.<\/p>\n
Defensive options remain limited because centre-back duo Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt are still unavailable. There had been initial confidence that striker Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko was close to returning from a knee injury, but that comeback now faces uncertainty after a separate issue.<\/p>\n
Amorim was candid on \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s condition: “Ben, we have to see,” he said. “We have to see if he\u2019s available. He had some [food] poisoning but we\u2019ll see. Let\u2019s wait.” No further update has been revealed and there has been significant speculation on social media that \u0160e\u0161ko will not recover in time for the Bournemouth match.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth will travel with the clear objective of disrupting United\u2019s bid to move closer to the Champions League qualification places. United\u2019s decision to withhold team news until the latest permissible moment is intended to limit their opponent\u2019s preparation and preserve selection flexibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
