Nine players set to miss Man United vs Bournemouth as Michael Carrick pressure rises

Manchester United and Bournemouth could be missing up to nine players combined ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture at Old Trafford. Under-pressure Manchester United manager Michael Carrick enters the clash on a seven-match winless streak across all competitions, worsened by a recent 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como. Carrick's side sits 13th in the league table, just one point above Marco Rose's Bournemouth squad.

United will be without Benjamin Sesko, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Patrick Dorgu, and long-term absentee Manuel Ugarte, though Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford could return. Bournemouth faces their own injury problems, with Alex Toth, Alex Scott, Julian Araujo, and Veljko Milosavljevic all ruled out of the weekend contest.
