Bournemouth welcome Manchester United to Vitality Stadium this Sunday with both teams desperate to return to winning ways after recent struggles.

The Cherries, winless in their last three matches but unbeaten against United in their previous three league encounters, will look to replicate their impressive 3-0 victory at Old Trafford earlier this season.

United's concerning form—collecting just one point from their last four league matches—presents a prime opportunity for Andoni Iraola's men to capitalize at home, though both sides are dealing with key injuries that could shape this potentially high-scoring affair.

Bournemouth vs. Manchester Utd preview

Bournemouth welcome Manchester United to the Vitality Stadium with the home side unbeaten in their last three league encounters against the Red Devils, including a commanding 3-0 victory at Old Trafford back in December.

United's alarming slump continues with just one point from their last four matches, while Andoni Iraola's Cherries will be frustrated at failing to capitalize on their dominance against ten-man Crystal Palace last weekend.

Both sides are dealing with significant absences – Bournemouth missing creative spark Ryan Christie and striker Enes Ünal, while United's defensive woes continue with Martínez sidelined and Joshua Zirkzee unavailable in attack.

The hosts have shown impressive resilience at home this season with Evanilson and Justin Kluivert forming a dangerous attacking partnership that could again trouble a United defense that has shipped 12 goals in their last six outings.

Rúben Amorim will be hoping Bruno Fernandes can spark some creativity in midfield after being reintroduced to the starting lineup, though United's concerning away form – winless in their last two road games – suggests the Cherries will fancy their chances.
