Manchester United v Bournemouth- lineups , free online live stream , match predictions

The Premier League clash between Manchester United and Bournemouth is generating significant interest due to both teams' contrasting recent performances. Manchester United finds itself in a precarious 13th position, grappling with inconsistency that has marred their season . Following a dramatic win against Manchester City, they suffered a disappointing loss to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, prompting speculation about their starting lineup for this crucial fixture. Key players such as Bruno Fernandes have shown promise, contributing significantly to the team's goal tally .

Bournemouth could find themselves as high as fourth by the end of the weekend if results go their way, highlighting the brilliant job Andoni Iraola is doing, though their last-minute draw to West Ham earlier this week shows that they can be vulnerable at times.

United’s win in the Manchester derby provided short-lived optimism after they lost 4-3 to Spurs in a comical encounter in the Carabao Cup, though there’s been a marked improvement in performances under Amorin, if not always in results.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Ouattara; Unal

Bournemouth have travelled well in recent weeks, winning their last two top-flight away games against Ipswich Town and Wolves. That is their best run since a four-game streak in December 2023, where the third win coincidentally also came against Man Utd.

Andoni Iraola’s side salvaged a 1-1 draw with West Ham in their last outing as substitute Enes Ünal’s stunning 90th-minute free-kick cancelled out Lucas Paquetá’s penalty just three minutes prior.

Ünal levelled the scores against Ipswich the week before, again from the bench, with Bournemouth managing eight Premier League goals from substitutes this term. That is the most such strikes this season, and their 17 since the start of the last campaign can only be narrowly bettered by Brighton’s 18.

Bournemouth are well prepared to pick apart the holes in Amorim's framework, and their directness will doubtlessly give the Portuguese coach plenty to consider. The Cherries were 3-0 winners on this ground last season, meaning United will be keen to get their own back after the pair drew 2-2 in the reverse fixture.
