    Immediately after that, Bournemouth make a sub.
  • 56'
    Shaw hauls Wilson down in the box as he is about to tap the ball home. No penalty given! Awful decision.

    Bournemouth take another corner short and again it comes to nothing. United immediately break but Rashford can't find a man.

    Manchester United with the early pressure. A Martial effort pinballs around the box before it is eventually gathered by Begovic.

    It's end to end here. Bournemouth earn a corner after breaking while Marcus Rashford was appealing for a penalty.

    Anthony Martial is certainly causing problems down the left. All of Manchester United's attacking has come down that flank.

Start of match

Start of match

  • PRVW
    The teams are in the tunnel ready to get out on the pitch. David de Gea is Manchester United captain tonight and leads them out.
  • PRVW
    Meanwhile Surman starts for Bournemouth while Calum Wilson also makes a return.
  • PRVW
    An interesting selection from Jose Mourinho then who threatened to drop any of the players who underperformed against West Brom. We're not sure that that applies to Romelu Lukaku who is probably just being rested, and Pogba and Herrera still make the starting lineup.
  • PRVW
    And here is what happened the last time these two played on the south coast!
  • PRVW
    Manchester United XI: De Gea, Darmian, Jones, Smalling, Shaw, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Martial
  • PRVW
    Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Francis, S. Cok, Ake, Daniels, Fraser, L. Cook, Surman, Ibe, King, Wilson
  • PRVW
    And the teams are in...
