Bournemouth 0-1 Man United LIVE Premier League, Latest Score And Goal Updates Today

Bournemouth vs Manchester United – LIVE

Man United are back in Premier League action today and need to keep winning if they are to keep Liverpool at bay. Erik ten Hag’s side head down to Bournemouth with their arch rivals breathing down the back of their necks in the Champions League race.

While the Dutchman’s first season in charge has broadly been a success, failing to pick up three points here would be a disaster.

Indeed, Jurgen Klopp’s men could overtake them in the top four today should they beat Aston Villa and therefore put a huge amount of pressure on the final game next week.

Confirmed Man United lineup

Man United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho, Martial

Subs: Maguire, Malacia, Fred, Dalot, Weghorst, Pellistri, Butland ,McTominay, Garnacho

Confirmed Bournemouth lineup

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kelly, Smith, Cook, Lerma, Anthony, Christie, Brooks, Solanke

Subs: Travers, Stephens, Mepham, Ouattara, Stacey, Vina, Moore, Sadi, Adu-Adje

KICK-OFF!

We’re underway at the Vitality Stadium!

Not a great start for De Gea

02 mins: De Gea’s passing lets him down again, giving a flat ball straight to an opponent.

Ten Hag urging the ball to go down the left channel but United appearing to favour the right.

Ten Hag not happy

07 mins: The United boss wants much more from his defenders when playing out from the back and is getting quite animated on the touchline.

Good work allows Wan-Bissaka to swing in a cross but the home side clear.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Man United | Casemiro ‘8

08 mins: GOAL!

Brilliant acrobatic finish from Casemiro to opening the scoring.

Really dominant start from United

12 mins: The fans are basking in the Bournemouth sun and singing about the FA Cup final with their team in total command here.

United need to strike with the iron is hot

17 mins: Obvious of course but United are such in control here it’d be a shame (for them) if they do not double their lead at least.

Bournemouth are fighters, after all.

Bournemouth on the beach

20 mins: Saying that, the hosts look on holiday already!

Nothing in the way of intensity just yet.

CHANCE FOR BOURNEMOUTH!

28 mins: Still, United need to do their jobs.

Luckily, De Gea is there to save from Solanke to preserve their lead.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR BOURNEMOUTH!

31 mins: David Brooks now drags a shot wide!

The Cherries going through the gears somewhat here.

Casemiro has had the run of it so far

37 mins: Goal aside, the Brazilian is running the show on the south coast.

A dominant performance.

CHANCE FOR MAN UNITED!

39 mins: Casemiro fires just wide.

HT: Bournemouth 0-1 Man United

As it stands, Manchester United are bound for a return to the Champions League…
