Bournemouth vs Man United

Manchester United continue their quest to secure a top-four place in the Premier League and a Champions League berth when they travel to face Bournemouth on Saturday at the Vitality Stadium. 

Bournemouth are mathematically safe after a remarkable turnaround under manager Gary O'Neil, and the Cherries will be looking to send off their fans with a memorable result in their final home game of the season.

Man United need two wins in their last three matches to secure a spot in next season's lucrative Champions League, and the good news for Red Devils supporters is that their final two matches of the season are in the friendly confines of Old Trafford.

While Man United's home form (13W-1L-3D) has been on par with the Premier League teams above them in the table, their road performances (7W-8L-3D) have been well off the pace, and that will give top-four chasers Liverpool some hope they can move closer to United this weekend.

The Sporting News is following Bournemouth vs. Manchester United live and providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.

Bournemouth vs Man United live updates, highlights from Premier League

63rd min.: Chance Man United! Good save by Bournemouth 'keeper Neto. Weghorst with a driven shot in the box that goes between the legs of a defender, but Neto swats it away.

Shortly after a Bruno Fernandes shot toward goal was deflected for a corner.  United are pushing hard for the second goal. Bournemouth subs Matias Vina and Dango Ouattara coming on. Vina, a left-back, will play at right-back for Adam Smith.

59th min.: Chance Man United! It's Antony with a shot that crosses the Bournemouth goalmouth. Moments before Wout Weghorst came into the game for Anthony Martial, who trudged off the field after failing to impact the match.

55th min.: Chance Bournemouth! It's Dominic Solanke with the tight-angle effort and his ball goes right across the six-yard box.

Meanwhile, the big forward Kieffer Moore comes on in place of the returning David Brooks, who gets a heartfelt ovation. Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil is going with two forwards in a hope to chase an equaliser.

46th min.: We're off again. After less than a minute it's David Brooks with the left-footed shot that De Gea tips over the bar.

It's worth noting that De Gea has officially won the Premier League Golden Glove for 2022/23.

— Premier League (@premierleague) May 20, 2023 HALFTIME: Bournemouth 0-1 Man United

Half-Time: Manchester United started strong, got an early goal, and managed the rest of the match. Bournemouth were sloppy with the ball, but still had a period of 10-15 minutes to close out the half to show they can still be a threat.

Neither team has much urgency and bite to their game under the Bournemouth sun, and it's understandable. With the Cherries assured of their Premier League status, and Bournemouth not troubling United all too much, there's not much need to panic from either side.

40th min.: Chance Man United! It's Casemiro pushing up again and his shot from the top of the box forces a stop from Bournemouth 'keeper Neto.

38th min.: News of Liverpool losing at home to Aston Villa has Man United fans thinking they can wrap up a top-four place today. If things stay like this, Liverpool will not be able to catch the others in the top four.

35th min.: It's been a fine 10 minutes or so from Bournemouth. David Brooks had a go on a free-kick, and after strong combination play Ryan Christie had a go from inside the box to earn the Cherries' first corner. Nothing comes of it, but the home team is on the ascendancy.

27th min.: Chance Bournemouth! It's the first shot of the match for Bournemouth and it's on target. Man United's David De Gea has to make the diving save on a shot in the box by Cherries forward Dominic Solanke that was destined for the far side netting.

21st min.: Chance Man United! A dummy move by Casemiro at the top of the Cherries' box leaves the ball bouncing invitingly for Christian Eriksen, who unleashes a first-time, left-footed shot but misses the mark.

18th min.: Man United have started strong and decisively, and the ball is flowing nicely. But Bournemouth have numbers in their own box and they've been able to clear the ball. But Cherries are giving the ball back way too easily.

9th min.: GOAL! It's Manchester United finding the back of the net. Christian Eriksen lofts a ball into the box for Casemiro and after a defensive deflection, the Brazilian applies a sensational volley finish while falling back.

Regulars Joe Rothwell and star midfielder Philip Billing are not in the squad. In-demand Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lerma (broken nose) is starting and is expected to wear a mask, while Hamed Junior Traore (foot injury) trained this week, but has still been ruled out of this match.

Antoine Semenyo (shin surgery), Marcus Tavernier (hamstring), Ryan Fredericks (calf), and Junior Stanislas (back) will not play again this season. Soon-to-be-free-agent Jordan Zemura has not featured for the squad in weeks as he gets set to depart the club.

Bournemouth starting lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): 13-Neto (GK) — 15-Adam Smith, 27-Ilya Zabarnyi, 25-Marcos Senesi, 5-Lloyd Kelly — 4-Lewis Cook, 8-Jefferson Lerma — 7-David Brooks, 10-Ryan Christie, 32-Jaidon Anthony — 9-Dominic Solanke

Star Man United forward Marcus Rashford fell ill and missed training on Friday and he is out of the squad against Bournemouth.

But United will have Scott McTominay available after he returned to training earlier in the week after a prolonged absence. The timing of the Scotsman's return is key given on-loan midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
