Manchester United v Bournemouth rounds off Gameweek 16 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

The Cherries have won 3-0 in each of their last two visits to Old Trafford, with Andoni Iraola unbeaten in four fixtures against United across all venues.

Antoine Semenyo, in the Bournemouth XI tonight as expected, scored both home and away against the Red Devils last season.

Kick-off in this latest meeting between the two clubs is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

The big team news is that Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are available to play, and start, for United this evening.

They head off to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Cameroon and the Ivory Coast, respectively, after tonight’s game. There had been a little bit of doubt that they’d feature against the Cherries in the lead-up to Gameweek 16.

Noussair Mazraoui is, however, unavailable. His Morocco side contests the AFCON opener on December 21, so his departure has been hastened.

Leny Yoro starts in his place but that’s it for changes from the side that won 4-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Monday.

Benjamin Sesko has overcome a knee injury and a bout of food poisoning to make the matchday squad for the first time in over a month. He’s among the substitutes.

As for the visitors, Marcos Senesi is fit to start after a minor injury scare.

Bournemouth’s one and only alteration from Gameweek 16 comes in midfield: Tyler Adams, back from suspension, is in for the benched Alex Scott.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Yoro, Heaven, Shaw, Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Mount.

Subs: Bayindir, Martinez, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Mainoo, Sesko, Fredricson.

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Jimenez, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo, Evanilson.

Subs: Dennis, Araujo, Soler, Brooks, Scott, Adli, Kroupi, Hill, Unal.

    Honestly, FPL put to one side, that was an all time stinker from Mbeumo

    Almost every single thing he did was the wrong pass or decision

    Got to laugh sometimes as an owner.

    Him over Bruno last few weeks and holding Semenyo over Foden been laugh out loud bad

  10. brianutd-why always we? 20

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

    2. Dannyb

      • 14 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 28 days ago

        How so? You think they will turn crap without Amad/Mbeumo?

  15. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

  16. Feanor
    • 16 Years

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

        1. Effe
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 28 days ago

  18. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 28 days ago

    MUN can't defend, bring in Rogers rather than Semenyo with 4 YCs?

  19. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 28 days ago

    That has to be a Bruno recovery

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      4-4 and Def Cons still being counted

      Just enjoy the action

  20. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 28 days ago

    4-4 full time, what an entertaining game

  21. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 28 days ago

    All over 4-4 some match that. Lammens saved them several times.

  22. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 months, 28 days ago

    Bournemouth absolutely blew it at the death

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      Bruno wandered out of position to let Semenyo go free

  23. Moon Dog
      2 months, 28 days ago

      What a match

    • Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 28 days ago

    • AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      Festivities alround

      and frolics

      Partly

    • Pompel
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      Kind of disappointing from Semenyo only being involved in one of the goals. Hoping for diubke digits next gw then

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 28 days ago

        Imagine how Mbeumo feels!

    • Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago

      Well fair play United and Bournemouth, playing the way it’s all about - providing entertainment.

      None of that rubbish boring park the bus tactics that’s putting masses off of the game

    • Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 28 days ago
