Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction

Manchester United are currently 6th in the league, and have won four of their last five league games. They produced arguably their best performance of the season in their game against Chelsea. Despite not having Marcus Rashford in the starting XI, Manchester United managed to produce an excellent attacking display, even though their defensive display wasn't as good.

Manager Erik ten Hag has come under immense pressure this season, and there have been multiple points where it seemed likely that he would leave. However, the Dutchman remains in charge of the club, and their performance against Chelsea was a timely reminder of the positivity he and the team generated last season.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, are 15th in the league, and have won three of their last five league games. After a slow start to their season, they have now produced a good string of performances and results.

Manager Andoni Iraola was highly rated when he joined from Rayo Vallecano, and there were question marks raised after Bournemouth's start to the season. However, there are now glimpses of what he can do with some time.

You never know with Manchester United, but they should ideally win here.
