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.

The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport TV

Illia Zabarnyi made his Premier League debut for Bournemouth last time out and could feature again, with Chris Mepham at right-back. Marcus Tavernier, however, will not play again this season.

For United, Marcus Rashford had returned to training and stepped up his recovery from injury, but the forward is now suffering with illness and is doubt for the match.

Scott McTominay is back in training though in better news for United, while Alejandro Garnacho is pushing for a start after his goalscoring cameo against Wolves last week.
