Compared to recent seasons, Manchester United appear to be more stable in their performances as they seem more balanced and consistent. In recent weeks, the hosts recorded five wins, three draws and only one defeat. The two most recent away games against Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton went exactly according to plan for Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim, who however, continues to struggle with the fact that his players find it much harder to translate their undeniable potential onto the pitch at home. Only newly promoted Burnley have conceded more away goals than Bournemouth so far this season. In their first twelve games with Bournemouth, the Red Devils celebrated nine victories, one draw and two defeats. However, in their last four matches, the English record champions have failed to secure a win against the Cherries, managing two draws and even two Bournemouth victories. Leaving aside the final outcome from this game we shoula at least see some goals on Monday evening at the Theatre of Dreams.
