Erik ten Hag’s men are looking to fend off resurgent Liverpool in the quest for Champions League qualification and must win at the Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth host Manchester United on Saturday as the Red Devils look to finally secure their place in next season’s Champions League.
While Erik ten Hag’s first season at Old Trafford can broadly be seen as a success, arch-rivals Liverpool are breathing down their necks.
Jurgen Klopp’s team are only a point behind United, who need to stamp out the inconsistency to ensure they make it back to Europe’s top table.
Their opponents are playing for very little now after securing Premier League safety weeks ago but have proven themselves to be a dangerous opponent.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Bournemouth vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 5pm kick-off Kenyan time a the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth on Saturday.
Where to watch
The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport TV
