"We improve some of the players that were almost there but not there - Lingard, Alexis - these kind of players, that were already available but not yet at a good level. “Dalot and Fellaini are still out. The only one that went one step behind was Antonio Valencia with some problem in his knee. But Lingard and Alexis, now I can say ‘ready.’”Speaking of Valencia, Mourinho joked about a video published by the Ecuadorian on social media this week showing him training in the gym at Carrington. “I watched something funny in his Instagram where he says ‘work, work, work,’ in the gym,” said Mourinho. “He should say ‘work, work, work, alone because I am injured and cannot train with the team'.  “He couldn’t train with the team so I think it looked like he was working really, really hard and he was but without the ball and without the team so tomorrow you can imagine he is not selected because he is not ready.” United head into their trip to the Vitality Stadium sat eighth in the Premier League table - two places below Bournemouth in sixth.</blockquote>
