Manchester United boss Michael Carrick may have a final opportunity to save his job as his struggling side faces an upbeat Bournemouth on matchday eight of the English Premier League (EPL) on Sunday. This match at Old Trafford between the 13th-placed ‘Red Devils’ and the 15th-placed ‘Cherries’ could be a nervous game for the home fans, but is there another disappointment loading for United?
With seven points (W1, D4, L2), United are only two points above the relegation zone and just three above the basement club. After a disappointing result in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), pressure is on manager Michael Carrick to improve or face more scrutiny over his role.
Bournemouth’s six points (W1, D3, L3) put them closer to the relegation zone than their hosts, although only by one point. The Cherries come with better morale, though, having won in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) fixture. Can the visitors pile more agony on the home side?

Manchester United - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
United were humbled 4-1 away at Como in their UCL league phase encounter on Wednesday. That extended their winless run in all competitions to seven matches (D3, L4), which includes a disappointing crash out of the EFL Cup against Brighton.
The Red Devils drew 1-1 away at Leeds in their last EPL match and have drawn their last three league games by the same scoreline. Home faithful will be worried about their form at Old Trafford, as United lost two of their last three home matches (D1) in all competitions.
United failed to win their last six league games against Bournemouth.
Bournemouth are coming off a stunning 3-0 win at home against AC Milan in the UEL league phase game on Thursday. That was a third victory in a row for the Cherries, two of which came in Europe.
They won 2-0 at home against Sunderland in their last EPL fixture, which was their first victory of the league campaign. Three draws and defeats earlier in the EPL season put question marks over Bournemouth, although the losses have come against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea – all three currently in the top five.

Manchester United & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
United have a lengthy injury list with Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Benjamin Sesko among the prominent absences. Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez could be back in time to make the bench.
Carrick could stick to his tested 4-2-3-1 formation. In the absence of a striker, Bryan Mbeumo could start up front, while Amad Diallo and Matheus Cunha could be starting on the flanks. Carlos Baleba may line up in the heart of midfield along with Youri Tielemans.
Mbeumo has six goals in his last nine league games.
Junior Kroupi is back in training for the visitors, who are set to miss out on Julian Araujo and Alex Scott. Other than these minor concerns, Bournemouth are nearly at full strength for this trip.
The Cherries could line up in their 4-2-3-1 system with Evanilson starting as the striker. He has two goals and four assists in the EPL this term while also contributing three goals (one goal and two assists) in his last three matches against United.

Our Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction
Manchester United are going from one crisis to another – both on and off the ground. Regardless of the calm over Carrick’s position, this result could decide his stay at the club. However, they have struggled at home defensively, which should boost Bournemouth, who have been a revelation in Europe this season. The stakes are high for the hosts, but so are the nerves, which means there could be nervousness in the stadium at Old Trafford.
The last three EPL matches between these sides produced goals from both teams, and that’s likely to continue. Our Manchester United vs Bournemouth prediction is BTTS.
Manchester United vs Bournemouth Alternative Predictions
Draw
Manchester United are struggling to close out games, and that’s an open secret. That leaves the door open for Bournemouth to win here, although United have managed to at least find a draw. Four of their last five EPL games ended in a draw, including three consecutive 1-1 stalemates. Another draw could be in the offing here.
Evanilson Over 0.5 Shots On Target
Evanilson has three goals and one assist in his last four competitive matches for Bournemouth. The Brazilian forward made six contributions to the nine EPL goals they scored this term – two goals and four assists. He also has one and two assists in his last three appearances against United. Evanilson could fancy getting at least one shot on target here.
