In a hope to turn around their fate, Man United will take on Bournemouth in an exciting Premier League clash on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim’s side faced a tough time when they suffered a disappointing 3-4 loss to Tottenham in the knockout of the EFL Cup on Thursday. While The Red Devil would have got the much-needed confidence boost after beating The Blues in an away Premier League clash, they would be eager to return to their form when they host Bournemouth.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth has been unbeaten in their last four matches. They will head into this match after managing a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in their Premier League outing.

Man United vs. Bournemouth lineups, team news
The hosts will miss the services of Luke Shaw (hamstring), Mason Mount (muscle), and Victor Nilsson Lindelof (knock), who are sidelined due to their respective injuries.

Man United vs. Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth is doing phenomenal at this moment and will be eager to show a dominant performance against the hosts in an away game.
On the other hand, Man United’s performance under Amorim has been shaky, but they have shown some positive signs. United have won nine out of the last 18 meetings between these two sides, and they will look to continue their dominance in the upcoming clash as well.
