It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. JUNIOR Kroupi will play for the Cherries at Manchester United, Marco Rose confirmed.

As reported, boss Rose revealed that the French forward was back in training ahead of the AC Milan game, but he is not yet back in the UEFA squad so could not feature against the Rossoneri.

But Rose said there was a possibility he could be involved against United, and he confirmed that the 20-year-old would get some game time on Sunday.

"But when we train, you change every rondo you play.

"He changes every five v five plus one with him as a floater we play, then it's just a different game then."
