Bournemouth are in desperate need of reviving their fortunes as they travel to take on a resurgent Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Monday night. The Red Devils are riding high after a dominant 4-1 thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers in their latest outing.
The win has helped Ruben Amorim's side consolidate their position in the top half of the Premier League table for the time being. A win against the Cherries on Monday could see them leapfrog the likes of Sunderland, Liverpool and Crystal Palace and draw level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea.
Talismanic midfielder and club captain Bruno Fernandes was the pick of the players as United blew Wolves away at the Molineux last week. He bagged a brace and set up another to help Amorim's men round off arguably their most reassuring display in recent weeks.

The top brass' decision to stick with the Portuguese coach seems to be paying dividends as they continue to show signs of progress with each passing game.
Meanwhile, their Monday opponents' fortunes have been on the decline of late. Bournemouth head into Old Trafford in lacklustre form, winless in their last six league matches and sitting 15th in the table with 20 points from 15 matches.
They have managed to amass a grand total of two points from their last six Premier League matches. A misfiring attack and a leaky defence have cost them dearly in recent weeks.
Despite the stark contrast in the two sides' current form, Andoni Iraola's team will draw strength from their commendable record in this fixture in recent seasons.
Bournemouth are unbeaten against Manchester United in the last four meetings between the two sides, picking up successive 3-0 wins at Old Trafford in the last two league campaigns.
Manchester United vs Bournemouth Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The Cherries have beaten United 3-0 in each of their last two trips to Old Trafford. No team has ever won three consecutive top-flight away matches against the Red Devils while scoring three or more goals each time.
- Manchester United have kept only one clean sheet after 15 Premier League matches in the 2025-26 season.
- Bournemouth haven't won any of their last six Premier League matches, drawing two and losing four.
- In their last nine games, the Red Devils have picked up 18 points. That is more than their haul from their previous 17 matches.
Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction
Despite the Cherries' lamentable run of form, United will be well-advised to not take them lightly. Iraola's side put on a spirited showing to hold Chelsea to a draw and they will make life hard for Amorim's unit. Additionally, Old Trafford has been a favourable hunting ground for Bournemouth.
Despite all of that, it looks like United have enough wind in their sails to overwhelm the Cherries and secure all three points.
