Manchester United vs. AFC Bournemouth Match Preview (1 Viewer)

[NFLBITESTREAMS]

After narrowly missing out on one of the most dramatic EFL Cup comebacks in recent memory, Manchester United aim to bounce back when Bournemouth visit Old Trafford for Sunday’s Premier League clash.

United were part of a thrilling 4-3 loss to Tottenham on Thursday, a game that saw Spurs race to a three-goal lead before two blunders from Fraser Forster handed the Red Devils a lifeline.

However, Son Heung-min’s corner found its way into the net unchallenged, and a late Jonny Evans header wasn’t enough to complete the turnaround. Despite the loss, manager Ruben Amorim remained upbeat, still savoring the glow of last weekend’s gritty 2-1 derby win over Manchester City.

Currently 13th in the table, United risk spending Christmas in the bottom half of the Premier League standings for the first time in the competition’s history if they fail to win. However, with at least two goals scored in each of their last five home games, they have reason to feel confident heading into this match.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth come into the contest riding a wave of late-game drama themselves. A stunning 30-yard free kick from Enes Unal in the 90th minute secured a 1-1 draw against West Ham on Monday, extending their unbeaten run in the league to four games. While their three-match winning streak ended, Bournemouth sit comfortably in sixth place, two points behind Manchester City.

Known for their attacking intent — second only to Man City in total shots this season — the Cherries aim to score in their 10th consecutive Premier League match. They also have their sights set on a rare feat: winning three away league games in a row for the first time in a year.

Their recent record against United is a cause for optimism. Bournemouth stunned the Red Devils with a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford last December and held them to a 2-2 draw in April. A win or draw on Sunday would mark their first-ever three-match unbeaten streak against United.
