Looking to take another giant leap towards booking a lucrative Champions League return, Manchester United will travel to the Vitality on Friday night when they meet Bournemouth.
Embarking on what has been a sensational resurge since Michael Carrick’s shock Old Trafford return back in January, Man United find the mood in their camp at a season-high and they will be looking to make another statement here.
Although Bournemouth might have opened up the New Year looking to mount a genuine European charge, the Cherries have recorded just a single Premier League victory since the end of January and they should be set for another tricky test here.
With all eyes falling on the Vitality on Friday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Bournemouth vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips.
Carrick’s remarkable immediate impact
Making an immediate return to winning ways last time out as they secured a deserved 3-1 victory at home against Aston Villa, Manchester United are enjoying what has become a public purple patch.
While plenty were shocked back in January as Carrick was announced as Ruben Amorim’s replacement at Old Trafford, Friday’s guests are riding a serious wave of momentum.
Getting Carrick’s second stint underway with a 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby, the Red Devils have lost just one of their first nine Premier League showdowns under the former Middlesbrough boss.
Skyrocketing up the table and now sat in bronze medal position among England’s elite, United will be looking to take another giant leap towards booking a Champions League return over the final couple of months.
Likewise, it should also be noted that Carrick’s side have suffered just a single Premier League defeat away from Old Trafford so far this calendar year.

Fernandes’ sensational run
Embarking on what has been a blockbuster run since Carrick’s return to the red half of Manchester, United’s talismanic skipper has certainly underlined his status as a modern era icon at Old Trafford.
Spearheading United’s Champions League charge, Bruno Fernandes has enjoyed a personal-best campaign and finds his stock at a red-hot high.
Registering a pair of Premier League assists during United’s 3-1 victory at home against Aston Villa last week, the Portuguese international has recorded 23 direct goal contributions in his 27 top-flight appearances this season (seven goals, 16 assists).
Likewise, the one-time Sporting Lisbon youngster has registered a direct goal contribution in nine of his last 11 domestic appearances.
Getting on the scoresheet during United’s remarkable 4-4 stalemate in their reverse Premier League battle against Bournemouth back on December 15th, Fernandes will be looking to play another leading role here.

Bournemouth’s attacking issues
While Bournemouth might have opened up the New Year with their sights set on mounting a genuine European charge, Friday’s hosts have seen their top-six dreams take a major dent.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures with just their goal difference keeping them in the top-half of the Premier League table, Andoni Iraola’s side have now been forced to settle for a point in all of their previous four straight top-flight matchups.
Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity last weekend as they played out a downbeat 0-0 stalemate against relegation scrappers Burnley, Bournemouth have also shown some worrying attacking issues.
In fact, the Cherries have registered just a single Premier League goal in almost 400 minutes of action. Bournemouth have also drawn consecutive Premier League blanks for the first time this season.
It should also be highlighted, Iraola’s men have seen six of their last seven showdowns at the Vitality finish with under 2.5 goals.
