BRUNO FERNANDES and Paul Pogba are reportedly BOTH doubts for tomorrow’s clash with Bournemouth after a collision in training.
The Mirror claims the pair ran into each other during a session at Carrington today and are now at risk of missing the game at Old Trafford.
It is reported Pogba accidentally clashed with his new team-mate during a session on Friday.
The report adds that both players were able to limp away but were taken off for treatment, with Fernandes coming off worse.
It remains unclear how severe the damage is for the two men.
United’s fixtures come thick and fast with matches against Aston Villa and Southampton to come by next Monday and an FA Cup semi-final as well.
The club are still in the Europa League, too, with a second leg against LASK to come before almost certainly a mini tournament from the quarter-finals onwards in August.

Ole Gunnar Solskajer was already without Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe – the latter until next season – and promoted 18-year-old defender Ethan Laird to train with the first team.
But his preparations for the visit of Bournemouth look to have taken a major hit with not one but two of his key players potentially ruled out.
Fernandes has been a revelation for the Red Devils since his January arrival from Sporting Lisbon, scoring six and assisting four in 13 appearances.
And since the season restarted, he has linked up brilliantly with Pogba, with the pair particularly impressive against Brighton in midweek.
United go into the clash with Bournemouth on a 15-match unbeaten run and know victory at Old Trafford would se them move into the top four – with Chelsea kicking off later against Watford.
Bournemouth have been in disarray since the season restarted, losing all three matches, scoring one and conceding seven.
