The goal is to try to delay the departure of Bryan Mbeumo, Noussair Mazraoui, and Amad Diallo for the Africa Cup of Nations.\n\nThe tournament, which will be held in Morocco from December 21st to January 18th, will leave United without these three key players for its duration.\n\nAmorim anticipates that Mbeumo, Mazraoui, and Amad will be called up two weeks before the start of the competition. However, the coach hopes to reach agreements with the respective associations to have them for as long as possible.\n\nManchester United would like to have their full squad available for the matches against Wolves on December 8th and Bournemouth&#8217;s visit to Old Trafford on December 15th.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1121%2Fr1578637_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Man United will be without the three key players during AFCON.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>Man United will be without the three key players during AFCON.<\/em>\n\nAmorim commented: &#8220;We have the rules about when we have to release the players. We are trying to get the players to stay a little longer, but we&#8217;ll see. I think it&#8217;s two weeks before the start. We will try to reach an agreement with the federations. We already knew [about the African Cup of Nations], so it&#8217;s an opportunity for other players. It&#8217;s not ideal, they are very important in our team.&#8221;\n\nThe situation is further complicated by Benjamin Sesko&#8217;s injury, which will keep him out of the match against Everton at Old Trafford on Monday.\n\nAmorim informed at a press conference on Friday that the knee problem &#8220;is not serious&#8221;, but the Slovenian international is expected to be out for several weeks.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>PL will adjust financial rules, rejects a strict salary cap<\/li><li>Rashford (flu) is doubtful for the return to Camp Nou of Bar\u00e7a<\/li><li>Re-evaluation: Who is the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of each of the main Premier League clubs?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\nHarry Maguire will also miss the match against Everton.\n\nKobbie Mainoo did not train with the team on Friday, but the midfielder is expected to participate on Saturday.\n\n&#8220;[Sesko] will be out for a few weeks,&#8221; said Amorim. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how long, but it&#8217;s not that serious.
