Manchester United are preparing for their second pre-season friendly of their trip to the United States, where they will face Bournemouth in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The fixture will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago in Illinois, which will be on Wednesday evening local time. Kick-off is scheduled for 02:30am UK time on Thursday morning, with Ruben Amorim and Co. looking to continue their impressive start to their trip.
United claimed a 2-1 win over West Ham in New Jersey in their previous friendly, and will now take on the Cherries in Chicago as they step up their preparations for the new Premier League campaign.
Amorim will be forced to deal with several injury and fitness concerns for the clash against Bournemouth. Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana are both sidelined with their respective injuries, while Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui were both absent from training in Chicago on Tuesday.
Mbeumo is also unlikely to feature for United against Bournemouth, with Amorim previously hinting that a debut is more probable against Everton on Sunday.
Fellow new signings Cunha and Diego Leon are expected to be available, though, after both featured in the win over the Hammers last week.
