How to watch Manchester United vs Bournemouth: TV channel, livestreams, latest team news

Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend as they face Bournemouth after their exit from the Carabao Cup.

Ruben Amorim’s side were unfortunate to exit the competition they won two years ago after bowing out to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals.

However, as the head coach suggested ahead of the game, United are extremely focused on improving their fortunes in the Premier League and will be ready for their next test.

Last weekend saw the Reds deliver a brilliant performance and shock win away at the Etihad Stadium against rivals Manchester City, which has clawed them closer to some of the teams ahead of them.

This weekend provides a clash against high-flying Bournemouth, who sit sixth in the table, and victory would see United leapfrog them in the table and close in on a place in the top four.

However, Andoni Iraola’s side have been very impressive so far this season and will be a tough test for a United team who are still learning on the job under Amorim.

The full details you need to follow along with this exciting clash can be read below.

Kick-off times & venue
