Bournemouthvs.Man Utd

sportsmole.co.uk, 10 April 2024, 09:30
Manchester United will be bidding to win in the Premier League for the first time in over a month when they head to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening to tackle Bournemouth.

The Red Devils will enter the match off the back of a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, which followed a 1-1 draw with Brentford and a 4-3 loss to Chelsea during a busy period after the March international break.

Erik ten Hag's side sit 11 points behind both fifth-placed Aston Villa and fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table, with their chances of claiming a Champions League spot for next season now very slim.
