Manchester United vs. Bournemouth Betting Analysis
Both teams won their previous matches in this Premier League Summer Series and will aim to do so again here, as the tournament format will crown the team with the most points after all three matchdays.
The Red Devils beat West Ham 2-1, with a brace from captain Bruno Fernandes, while the Cherries thrashed Everton 3-0, with goals from Philip Billing, Dango Ouattara and Daniel Adu-Adjei.
Manchester United would like to forget the disappointments of past seasons, but Bournemouth serves as a painful reminder: they are winless against the Cherries in their last four matchups, with two draws and two losses. Both Bournemouth victories were 3-0 and both were at Old Trafford, United's home.
Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim will not start new signing Bryan Mbeumo just yet and is likely to include him in the lineup on Sunday against Everton.
With a few changes to the starting eleven used against West Ham, Amorim will aim to gain a better understanding of how to utilize his midfield behind Fernandes to free him and bring him closer to the penalty box, allowing him to score or assist Matheus Cunha and Rasmus Hojlund.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth seems unfazed by the departures of center back Dean Huijsen and left back Milos Kerkez, who signed this summer with Real Madrid and Liverpool, respectively. Andoni Iraola's side has won their three friendlies so far and will be motivated to keep their successful run against Manchester United.
