Manchester United vs AFC Bournemouth team news and match preview
Man Utd host AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League fixture on Monday night.
United head into the match sixth in the league table, but are just five points ahead of Bournemouth in 13th place. The Cherries are without a win in their last six matches, and have lost four of those games, though they still pose a real threat and have some exceptional individual talent.
Bournemouth have secured consecutive 3-0 wins at Old Trafford across the previous two seasons, but lost key defenders Dean Huijsen, Illia Zabarnyi and Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window. United will head into the match as favourites, but Amorim has warned his side to expect a 'really tough game' on Monday night.

Amorim previews Bournemouth match
Manchester United are back in action when they host AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League on Monday night and Ruben Amorim is expecting a tough match. The Cherries have not won any of their previous six matches across all competitions, but Amorim is well aware that his side can't take anything for granted.
"It’s a top team, top manager with special players," he said. "I don’t look to the results, I look the way they face every opponent, they press really strong, they are direct in the game. That gives us a lot of options to prepare the game. I expect a really tough game but we need to win, especially at home.
When further pressed on the job Andoni Iraola had done on the South Coast, Amorim added: "Special. The way they play the game, what he’s doing for some players, he’s improving some players and you can look at that team they have several players who can play at a high level."
