Man United have been inconsistent since Ruben Amorim took charge at Old Trafford. The Manchester outfit have won four, lost three and drawn once since the Portuguese manager joined.

United suffered back-to-back defeats to Arsenal 2-0 and Nottingham Forest. They hit back with 2-1 victories over Viktoria Plzen and Man City.

The Red Devils’ patchy form surfaced again on Thursday as they lost 4-3 at Tottenham in the EFL Cup. United were 3-0 down and goals from Josh Zirkzee, Amad Diallo and Jonny Evans couldn’t prevent cup elimination.

High-flying Bournemouth remain in the top-four hunt after taking 25 points from 16 Premier League games this season.

Andoni Iraola’s side are unbeaten in four league games and occupy sixth place in the table. This run included three successive wins over Wolves 4-2, Tottenham 1-0 and Ipswich 2-1.

The Cherries were heading towards a first defeat in four against West Ham and trailed 1-0. They conceded on 86 minutes before Enes Ünal’s late strike helped Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw.

Verdict

Man Utd v Bournemouth

Man United are inconsistent and conceding a lot of goals. Bournemouth have seen plenty of high scorers lately and more goals can come at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
