Man Utd vs Bournemouth LIVE SCORE: Latest Premier League updates as Ten Hag hands start to Martial in place of Hojlund

  • Billboard jumping the gun a little

    As you head towards Old Trafford now, you are greeted by this billboard of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

    It seems premature as his proposed 25% purchase of the club, has been delayed and has yet to go through.

    The Glazers are being blamed for the delay but it also alleged that is being slowed down by the fact the club are registered in the Cayman Islands and also registered on the New York Stock Exchange.

  • Red Devils needs to find feet in box

    Currently, Scott McTominay is the top scorer in the league for Man Utd with five goals this season.

    They need to get one of there forward players firing on all cylinders.

    Without that, they will struggle to finish anywhere near the top four this season.

  • Chance to put pressure on noisy neighbours

    Victory today for the Red Devils would see them go level on points with Man City.

    Finishing in the top four is the main focus for ten Hag’s side as they look to secure Champions League football for next season.

    They have struggled in Europe this season and their passage out of the groups looks unlikely unless other results go their way.

  • Maguire looking to prove doubters wrong

    Harry Maguire received the player of the month award for November following their three clean sheets in the month.

    It will be a tough test for the Man Utd back line today as Gary O’Neil’s side have been free-scoring of late as they have found some form.

    It remains to be seen who will partner Maguire today, but the centre back will be looking to use the recognition as a springboard for his season.

  • Red Devils seem to be turning the corner

    Erik ten Hag received the manager of the month award for November after his side won three games in the month without conceding a goal.

    So far this season, the award has proved a bit of a curse as Ange Postecoglou won the first three awards and now his side has failed to win in five games.

    The Dutch manager will be hoping to avoid that as they face an in-form Bournemouth side today.

  • Welcome to Man Utd vs Bournemouth

    Man Utd welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford as they look to build on a midweek win against Chelsea and close the gap on the top four.

    Erik ten Hag will be without Casemiro, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen as they all continue their recoveries from injury.

    Having missed the last four matches with a calf issue, Mason Mount is still a major doubt and in unlikely to be involved in this game.

    Jadon Sancho is still out of favour following a falling out with the manager and there seems no way back for the winger before the transfer window opens.

    Marcus Rashford missed training on Friday due to illness, while Amad Diallo is back in training following a serious knee injury and may feature on the bench today.

    Raphael Varane is available following a back injury and will battle Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw to partner Harry Maguire at centre back.

    Bournemouth will be without Lloyd Kelly, Tyler Adams, Max Aarons, Alex Scott, Ryan Fredericks, Emiliano Marcondes and Darren Randolph who all remain fixtures in the treatment room.

    Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook have formed a partnership in the centre of midfield and are expected to keep their places, while Billing will be looking to slot into the number 10 role.
