Manchester United seek first win against Bournemouth
Separated by a single point after seven games, Manchester United and Bournemouth meet at Old Trafford seeking momentum to push away from the lower reaches of the table.
Manchester United sit 13th on seven points after seven games, having endured a slow start dominated by stalemates. A 1-1 draw at Leeds last time out marked their third consecutive league draw, extending an ongoing run of five games without a win. Manager Carrick recently confirmed he retains the full backing of chief executive Omar Berrada, but the pressure remains to convert tight performances into three points.
Bournemouth sit 15th on six points after seven games under head coach Marco Rose, who is managing domestic fixtures alongside a European campaign. The Cherries picked up a 2-0 home victory against Sunderland in their last outing to arrest back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Chelsea.
