Manchester United are set to face Bournemouth in a Premier League clash on Monday. United have been in good form, remaining unbeaten in their last three matches and losing only one of their previous nine
games. Despite this, they have slipped to eighth place after recent results. Their home form has been shaky, with no wins in the last two games at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim anticipates a challenging match against Bournemouth, who are currently 15th in the league. "I think it's a top team, top manager with a special player," Amorim stated. He emphasised the importance of winning at home and acknowledged Bournemouth's strong pressing and direct play style.
United's recent victory over Wolves by 4-1 has boosted their confidence. A win against Bournemouth could see them climb to fifth place. However, they have struggled against Bournemouth recently, losing their last two encounters at Old Trafford.
Bournemouth started the season well but have not won in their last six matches. They managed a goalless draw against Chelsea last Saturday, marking their first clean sheet since October. Andoni Iraola highlighted the need for defensive focus after conceding 13 goals in five previous games.
Bruno Fernandes is a standout for Manchester United this season. He has created more chances than any other player in the league and leads in assists with six so far. Antoine Semenyo is notable for Bournemouth, having scored in his last two games against United.
Bournemouth's away form against United has been impressive recently, winning their last two visits by 3-0 each time. No team has ever won three consecutive away games against United while scoring three or more goals each time.

Bournemouth's Challenges
Bournemouth's current run without a win stretches back six matches (D2 L4). This streak is reminiscent of a similar period between December and February during the 2023-24 season when they went seven games without victory.
United have gathered more points from their last nine league matches than from their previous 17 combined. They have only managed one clean sheet this season, while Bournemouth have failed to score in their past two games.
