Team News
Manchester United
As was the case at the Etihad, there was no space for Marcus Rashford in the Man United squad for the EFL Cup bout with Tottenham; the Englishman has publicly stated his desire to leave, but Amorim insisted at full time that there could still be a way back for him at the Theatre of Dreams.
Rashford's availability for Sunday's game will likely remain shrouded in uncertainty until the official team sheets are released, and the same goes for Victor Lindelof, who suffered yet another injury in the first half of Thursday's defeat.
Luke Shaw (calf) and Mason Mount (leg) will certainly not be at Amorim's disposal, while Matthijs de Ligt was missing from Thursday's game due to illness and is doubtful too.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
Bournemouth
In contrast, Bournemouth came out of their stalemate with West Ham unscathed on the physical front, but Iraola is expected to still be without five stricken players for Sunday's tie.
Luis Sinisterra (thigh), Alex Scott (knee), Julian Araujo (thigh), Marcos Senesi (thigh) and Marcus Tavernier (thigh) all remain out of contention, and only the former is thought to be in with a chance of returning before 2025.
Unal's extraordinary free kick on Monday night may have given Iraola some food for thought up front, especially as Evanilson has now gone scoreless in five straight Premier League games while his Turkish foe has goals in back-to-back appearances off the bench.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Ouattara; Unal
Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Bournemouth
