Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction
Manchester United have made clear signs of progression under the management of Erik ten Hag, and are fourth in the league. They are two points behind third-placed Newcastle United, who have played a game more. Considering the painful defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford at the start of the season, ten Hag will be pleased to see his side in the mix for Champions League spots.
At the heart of Manchester United's resurgence has been Marcus Rashford. The 25-year-old has now scored 11 goals in all competitions, having scored only five last season. Rashford's contract will be a heavy point of discussion among the club's hierarchy, with Paris Saint-Germain said to be extremely interested.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are 15th in the league, and have lost four of their last five league games. Wales international Kieffer Moore has proven to be a useful player for his club, while former Chelsea and Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke has also produced some good performances.
It will be interesting to see whether the club's new ownership decides to invest in January.
We expect Manchester United to win this game.
