Manchester United superstar unlikely to feature for the Red Devils against Bournemouth after missing training due to illness

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could miss the clash against Bournemouth on December 9 (Saturday), after he missed the training session due to illness.

Manchester United's official website recently released team news ahead of their Premier League tie against the Cherries on Saturday. In the report, it was stated that former Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is expected to make his return for the Red Devils.

However, the Old Trafford outfit will miss the likes of Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford against Bournemouth. The Swede defender was substituted during half-time after he suffered a knock against Chelsea on Wednesday (December 6). Meanwhile, Rashford played a few minutes after being subbed in at the 84th minute.

The report read:

"Marcus Rashford is a doubt after missing Friday's training session due to illness."

The Englishman has made 19 appearances for the Red Devils this season across different competitions, recording two goals and four assists.

Due to the illness, the Englishman also missed United's team photo, where the Red Devils celebrated winning three Premier League awards for November. Erik ten Hag won Manager of the Month, Harry Maguire won Player of the Month and Alejandro Garnacho won Goal of the Month award.
