Manchester United take on Bournemouth tomorrow. Read our in-depth preview here…
Preview for Man United v Bournemouth
Manchester United welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford on Monday in a game that brings together two sides in contrasting form.
United are unbeaten in their last three top-flight outings, and most recently enjoyed a 4-1 thrashing of bottom side Wolves to move to seventh in the table.
The Cherries, meanwhile, are winless in six, having not picked up win since late October. The south coast club will, however, be buoyed by an impressive goalless stalemate against Chelsea last weekend.
Andoni Iraola’s men currently find themselves 14th in the table but they will be looking to continue the success they have experienced against the Red Devils in recent seasons.
