Manchester United vs Bournemouth, 5 Key Talking Points

#2 Bournemouth back to playing some of the prettiest football in the league

Despite the adverse conditions, the Cherries put on quite a show

After that early season blip we've already touched upon, Bournemouth have done well to climb out of the danger zone and clamber onto the relative safety of 14th in the league.

Where Eddie Howe deserves credit, though, is in sticking to the philosophy that got him, and his club, to the position they find themselves in - playing the ball out of the back, moving it quickly around the park and attacking with pace, intent, and directness.

On the night, between Asmir Begovic and David de Gea, the United goalkeeper was by far the busier of the two, needing to be on his toes throughout the 90 minutes as the Cherries sent in wave after wave of attack.

Keep playing with this verve and spirit and safety should come sooner rather than later.
