Manchester United travel to the south coast to face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday with a renewed sense of optimism.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, having failed to win an away game in almost six months, have claimed three consecutive wins on the road following a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge in the EFL Cup.
However, they will be conscious of the fact that in Bournemouth they come up against rigid opponents who will not afford them an inch of space at the Vitality Stadium.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this fixture.
