The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Bournemouth lock horns with Ruben Amorim's Manchester United side in a crucial encounter at Old Trafford on Sunday. Both teams have been fairly impressive in recent weeks and will want to win this game.
Manchester United vs Bournemouth Preview
Manchester United are in 13th place in the Premier League standings but have stepped up to the plate under Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils slumped to a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table and have exceeded expectations over the past year. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against West Ham United last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
