Manchester United head to Bournemouth tonight. Follow all the action with our live commentary…
Manchester United have the chance to pull further clear of the chasing pack in the battle for a Champions League qualifying spot when they go to Bournemouth tonight.
United’s resurgence under Michael Carrick has seen them rise to third place in the Premier League table and they sit three points above fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Carrick has masterminded a run of seven wins and a draw from nine games in charge and they will head south in confident mood.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in 10 games in the league but that sequence has contained six draws.
