Manchester United will bid to continue their fine form under Michael Carrick as they face Bournemouth in an intriguing Premier League clash.
The visitors have climbed to third in the table in an impressive run since Carrick’s arrival, and will be keen for that momentum continued before a 24-day gap between games after tonight. Installed after Ruben Amorim’s sacking in January, the former midfielder has addressed many of the issues that United appeared to be facing under his predecessor and could move them within four points of rivals Manchester City, who are not in Premier League action this weekend.
A win will not come easily, though, against a Bournemouth side on a 10-match unbeaten streak of their own. A number of draws within that run of results has checked the ambitions of Andoni Iraola and his squad somewhat, but a win here would leave the hosts in a good position to push for European places in the season’s final stretch.
