How to watch and follow Bournemouth v United

Manchester United are back on the road this Sunday as we travel to Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The clash with the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium kicks off at 14:00 BST.

Although some of the focus has to be on the Europa League semi-final first leg in Bilbao the following Thursday, United are looking to bring a run of four winless league games to an end.

Here’s what you need to know before our trip to the south coast…

Sunday’s contest is being broadcast live on Sky Sports for viewers in the United Kingdom.

The United App is the place to be for in-game updates and stats, and highlights will be available across our platforms from two hours after the final whistle.

TEAM NEWS

Ruben Amorim rotated his starting XI for Sunday’s home reverse to Wolves, making five changes after the dramatic events surrounding Lyon’s visit to Old Trafford the previous Thursday.

Academy graduates Harry Amass, Chido Obi and Tyler Fredricson were all given minutes, while the likes of Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Leny Yoro started on the bench.

Casemiro and Harry Maguire were unused substitutes, and Luke Shaw was rested entirely.

With Athletic Club not having a game this weekend, Amorim could make additional alterations but that could depend on player availability, with Amad and Matthijs de Ligt seeking to recover from their setbacks and be involved in the final month of the season. Jonny Evans returned to the bench on Sunday but hasn’t played since December.

The hosts are without Ryan Christie and Enes Unal, who have been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, while Luis Sinisterra is also a doubt.

FORM GUIDE

United’s last league win came at Leicester in March, with the Reds falling to defeats at Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United in our two most recent away outings.

Bournemouth’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League faded amid a run of six league games without victory, although they are now unbeaten in three matches.

A 1-0 home success over Fulham was sandwiched between draws at West Ham United and Crystal Palace, and the latter stalemate saw Andoni Iraola’s men surpass the club’s Premier League points record.

The Cherries currently lie eighth and if they remain there at the end of the season that could be enough to secure a first-ever spot in Europe.
