Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil has insisted his side are determined to finish the season strongly, warning Manchester United that they are by no means 'on the beach' despite securing their Premier League status.
The Cherries secured their place in the top flight last weekend despite a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace, with points dropped by Leicester City and Leeds United leaving them unable to surpass the 39-point mark Bournemouth have reached. The south coast side have defied the odds in beating the drop, having been among the favourites since the opening week of the season.
As such, they welcome United to the Vitality Stadium with nothing to play for but a higher-placed finish in the bottom half of the table. However, O'Neil has warned the Reds that his side will not be in their flip flops come Saturday and are instead desperate to respond to last week's defeat.
