All three players are set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) next week, but there is no confirmed date for when they will leave England.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/man-united-bryan-mbeumo-afcon-33055561\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Monday has been set as the release date by FIFA for clubs to let players participating in the tournament<\/a> link-up with thier teammates. However, with United&#8217;s game taking place on the same day, it has created confusion about their availability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">It&#8217;s understood that United have held talks with the federations of Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco. &#8220;We are waiting until the last moment to have all the players available to choose the best team to start of game,&#8221; <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/manchester-united-forced-draw-up-33046201\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Amorim said on Friday.Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Amorim said on Friday.<\/a> &#8220;I expect to have a decision today or maybe tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Every national team has their ideas about when they want the players. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to be the same situation (with each player). It depends on the games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s frustrating but at the same time nobody knows who is going to play. So it&#8217;s a good thing, I think. We have players to cope with everything, and with a long week you can see a lot of things to prepare the game and any situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Now, news of Mazraoui&#8217;s teammates&#8217; availability could spell the end of any hope that United will have their three African players. Real Betis take on Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Monday night, and according to BBC Sport, they will be without Morocco pair Sofyan Amrabat and Abde Ezzalzouli.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/0_Wolverhampton-Wanderers-v-Manchester-United-Premier-League.jpg\" alt=\"Bryan Mbeumo of Manchester United reacts \" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Bryan Mbeumo could be one of the Man United players to miss Monday&#8217;s game against Bournemouth (Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Both players have been released to join up with their teammates ahead of the tournament, with it claimed that Amrabat is injured and Morocco have rejected pleas to let Ezzalzouli play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">No comment has been made on whether Morocco have done the same with Mazraoui.
