427 – Can AFC Bournemouth Compound Man United’s Misery?
AFC Bournemouth head to Old Trafford full of confidence after three consecutive home wins, including a stunning 3-0 victory over AC Milan in the Europa League. But can Marco Rose’s side take that form on the road and claim a huge three points against a Manchester United side struggling for consistency?
On this week’s preview, we look ahead to Sunday’s Premier League clash, with plenty to discuss both on and off the pitch.
United’s disappointing start to the season has piled the pressure on Michael Carrick, and another defeat could leave his position under serious scrutiny. We look at what’s going wrong at Old Trafford, the growing frustration among supporters and whether Bournemouth can take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the club.
Plus, with speculation linking former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe with the United job, we debate whether he’d be the right appointment. Could his coaching ability, high standards and track record of improving players help revive the Red Devils, or would the problems behind the scenes make it a poisoned chalice?
