The Race for Europe:
Premier LeagueWhich Premier League Clubs Will Qualify for the 2025-26 Champions League? The Opta Supercomputer Predictions
2 days ago Matt Furniss, Oliver Hopkins, Ryan BensonTheir frustrating 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace last weekend saw them reach 49 points in the Premier League this season, their highest ever tally in a campaign in the competition, surpassing their 48 in 2023-24.
If they avoid defeat on Sunday, they could become the 40th different side to achieve a 50+ point season in the competition, with the last side to reach that tally for the first time being Brentford in 2022-23 (59).
Bournemouth have bounced back from their stumble in February and March, helped in part by their staunch defence in recent weeks.
They are looking to record three consecutive Premier League clean sheets for the first time since November 2019, with the third game back then being a 1-0 home win against United.
The Cherries have not shied away in their meetings with United over the last few seasons, and after a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in December, they are looking to become the sixth side to complete a league double over the Red Devils this term.
If they manage to do so, it will be the most league doubles against United in a single campaign since 1933-34 (6), and most in a top-flight season since 1930-31 (9).
Things are looking fairly bleak for Ruben Amorim’s side in the Premier League, as their 1-0 defeat to Wolves last time out was their 15th defeat in the top flight this season – their most-ever in a single campaign in the competition.
Their profligacy was on show again during that game as they managed 12 shots, but only two on target. United have failed to score in 13 different Premier League games this season, with only Leicester (15) and Everton (14) doing so more. The last time they failed to score in more league games in a single campaign was 1989-90 (16).
However, there is still a bright spark on the season, with a Europa League semi-final against Athletic Club on the horizon, meaning Amorim could opt to keep his team fresh for that, given their league position (14th).
Even if Amorim does choose to rotate, one player likely to feature will be Bruno Fernandes, who has proven he is their impact player in 2024-25.
Only Cole Palmer (78) has created more chances in the Premier League this season than him (77), while he also has nine assists this term.
Bournemouth vs Man Utd Head-to-Head
Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games against Man Utd (W2 D1).

United have conceded eight goals in their last three Premier League games against Bournemouth, as many as they had in their previous 11 against the Cherries.
Bournemouth vs Man Utd Prediction
The Opta supercomputer expects Bournemouth to come away with all three points, with their chances of victory sitting at 54.9%.
United, meanwhile, are given just a 22.6% chance of winning at the Vitality and a 22.5% likelihood of leaving with a point.
