OLD TRAFFORD, MANCHESTER — Manchester United welcome Bournemouth to the Theatre of Dreams where they look to build on their gutsy 2-1 victory over Chelsea in midweek.
Erik ten Hag has been under pressure in recent weeks yet still remains in the top-four hunt and just three points behind the reigning champions, Manchester City.
Andoni Iraola has managed to turn around Bournemouth’s season after sealing a convincing 2-0 win on the road against Crystal Palace.
