Bournemouth have failed to score in their last two Premier League games, last failing to score in three in a row in their last three games of 2022-23 under Gary O’Neil. The Cherries have had just 18 shots in these two goalless games, compared to 46 in their two games beforehand.

Last time out against Wolves, he both scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for the 16th time, with only Wayne Rooney (35), Ryan Giggs (22) and David Beckham (17) doing so more for Manchester United.
Among players to play 2,000+ minutes in the Premier League for Bournemouth, Antoine Semenyo has had the most shots (3.1) and shots on target (1.2) per 90 minutes of any player. The Ghanaian has also netted in each of his last two games against Manchester United (two goals).

Man United vs Bournemouth: What has been said?
Amorim has once again admitted his shortcomings and slated his team.
Speaking ahead of this match he responded to criticism from former players, he said: "It's a fact that me as a manager of Manchester United, I think we are underachieving. We should have more points, especially this season. So, I take that naturally.
"Sometimes they don't have all the information and see Manchester United with the standards they lived here, always winning. It's hard for them to see their club in this situation."
He also revealed he has had chats with Kobbie Mainoo.
"I had some conversations with him, especially last year, and with other players, but about that subject, no, I didn't speak with him.
"I will be really pleased if Kobbie comes to talk to me about that. I just want my players happy.
"I understand every individual has their goals and the frustration doesn't help anybody.

"I'm not going to say what I would say but I would talk to him.
"I am completely open, that is clear. I have my ideas and that is also clear. I will not change if I don't believe it but I'm open to speak with any player. I love that."
