"Ruben Amorim revealed that he does not know whether Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui will be available for Manchester United's fixture against Bournemouth on Monday. The United trio are set to travel for the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts later this month, leaving Amorim uncertain if they will be able to take part against the Cherries. Amorim said the situation was far from ideal, but believes it could also have some benefits for his side."
""We are still in conversation with the national teams," said Amorim. "The game is Monday, they are here and they are training and we are trying to prepare all the different scenarios. It is frustrating [not knowing who is available]. But nobody knows who is going to play, so it is a good thing. We have players to cope with everything. With a long week, you have time to prepare.""
