Manchester United vs Bournemouth will not air on UK TV
Manchester United play host to Bournemouth later today (Sunday), fresh off the back of their derby day delight.
It has been a challenging opening Premier League run-in for new head coach Ruben Amorim, with the Red Devils' form proving to be topsy-turvy. They drew away at Ipswich Town, put Everton to the sword, then lost back-to-back games against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
However, this mediocrity was soon forgotten after Amad’s Etihad heroics saw them steal three points from out-of-sorts neighbours Manchester City. They now face Andoni Iraola's men with somewhat of a chip on their shoulder.
The Cherries are enjoying a far more stellar season themselves, though, claiming a range of scalps, including the Gunners, their north London rivals Tottenham, and the Cityzens. As these two rather unpredictable sides prepare to do battle, fans in the UK hoping to watch live on TV will be left disappointed, and we can explain why.

Why isn’t Manchester United vs Bournemouth on TV?
United played out a League Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham on Thursday evening, so this league game was moved to Sunday afternoon at 2pm to give them a necessary period of rest.
It is one of four matches set to take place at this time, along with Everton vs Chelsea, Leicester vs Wolves and Fulham vs Southampton.

Unfortunately for fans of both the Red Devils and Cherries, no UK broadcasters have picked their clash to be aired, with Sky Sports instead opting for Southampton’s trip to Fulham, as well as broadcasting the later 4:30pm fixture – Tottenham vs Liverpool.
Yet, this kind of situation is due to change from next season when all games not scheduled for 3pm on Saturday will be aired live in the UK under the Premier League's new TV deal.
Where to watch Manchester United vs Bournemouth?
Fans hoping to watch the action live without a matchday ticket will be unable to do so in the UK, but those abroad can tune in via their local Premier League TV rights holders. For US fans, NBCUniversal holds the rights to all 380 Premier League games this season.
UK fans, however, will have to wait until Sky Sports uploads highlights of the match, usually around 20 minutes after the full-time whistle. These can be found on their YouTube channel.
An alternative would be Match of the Day 2, which airs at 10:30pm on Sunday and will feature further highlights on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Sky Sports will also show extended highlights, a 30-minute recap of the game, later on Sunday evening.
